Owing to the league reorganisation, the six Slovak clubs in the 1992–93 Czechoslovak First League were replaced by six Czech sides.[3]:465 Among the promoted sides replacing them were winners of the 1992–93 second tier, Viktoria Žižkov.[3]:469

Sparta Prague topped the league after the opening fixtures of the season, and remained at the top for the whole season. Captain Jozef Chovanec lifted the inaugural championship trophy for Sparta at the end of the season.[3]:470 Sparta Prague striker Horst Siegl scored eight more goals than the league's next-highest scorer,[3]:466 finding the net 20 times in 29 games.[3]:471

Union Cheb enjoyed a 15-match unbeaten run in the spring part of the season and finished the season in fourth place; their highest-ever finish.[3]:470 Dukla Prague were winless until their 23rd match, setting a league record. They finished bottom of the league and were relegated to the amateur third tier after the season. Vítkovice, who had won the Czechoslovak league just eight years earlier, finished in 15th position and were relegated to the second league.[3]:471
