The 1993–94 Czech First League was the first edition of top flight Czech First League annual football tournament in the Czech Republic following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on 1 January 1993. The season started on 14 August 1993 and ended on 8 June 1994. It was the last season to award two points for a win before three points for a win was adopted the following season.[3]: 465 

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
