The 1993–94 Slovak First Football League season was the first edition of top flight Slovak First Football League annual football tournament in Slovakian football following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on 1 January 1993. This season started on 14 August 1993 and ended on 15 June 1994.

Overview

12 teams contested in at home-and-away regular league matches totaling 22 games. The top 6 clubs formed a promotion/championship group and the bottom 6 a relegation group, each group playing 10 more games.

Slovan Bratislava prevailed with the 1994 title .

It was a historic season for Slovak football because this was the first season to take place since the breakup of the former Czechoslovakia, and three Slovak teams from the Czechoslovak First League, Slovan Bratislava, DAC Dunajská Streda (both in the UEFA Cup) and 1.FC Košice (Cup Winners Cup) qualified for European club competitions as Slovaki teams, while only Košice (a second tier team that had to take part in the qualifying round) managed to get past their first hurdle (Košice would ultimately be eliminated in the first round proper by Besiktas from Turkey).

The 1993–94 Slovak Superliga was formed based on the six teams that in the previous season played in the 1992–93 Czechoslovak First League (Slovan Bratislava, DAC 1904 Dunajsk Streda, Inter Bratislava, Tatran Prešov, FC Nitra, Spartak Trnava) and the six best teams of the 1992–93 Slovak National Football League (the Czechoslovak second tier competition) (1. FC Košice, Dukla Banská Bystrica, ŠK Žilina, Baník Prievidza, Chemlon Humenné, Lokomotíva Košice)

At the end of the season two teams were entitled to enter the newly added qualifying round of the UEFA Cup, and one team would take part in the qualifying round of the Cup Winners Cup. These European places would go on to Tatran Presov (Cup Winners Cup), and two clubs from the capital Bratislava, Slovan (denied a place in the revamped Champions League due to insufficient coefficient) and Inter (who actually would have entered the Champions League qualifying round had they become champion).
