← 1992
1994 →

The Russian First League 1993 was the 2nd edition of Russian First Division. There were 3 zones with 58 teams in total. The winner of each zone qualified for the promotion tournament to play against the teams that took places 14 to 16 in the 18-team Russian Top League 1993, 3 top teams from the tournament qualified for the Russian Top League 1994. For 1994 the Russian league system was reorganized, with First League reduced to one zone of 22 teams, so most of the 1993 Russian First League teams were relegated at the end of the season.
