The 1992–93 Rugby Football League season was the 98th ever season of professional rugby league football in Britain. Sixteen teams competed from August, 1992 until May, 1993 for the Stones Bitter Championship, Premiership Trophy and Silk Cut Challenge Cup.

Season summary

Stones Bitter League Champions: Wigan
Silk Cut Challenge Cup Winners: Wigan (20-14 v Widnes)
Stones Bitter Premiership Trophy Winners: St. Helens (10-4 v Wigan)

1992–93 Regal Trophy Winners: Wigan (15-8 v Bradford Northern)

The 1993 Man of Steel Award for player of the season went to Wigan's Andy Platt.

In March 1993, clubs voted to return to a two-division structure from the start of the 1993–94 season, which also included the scrapping of the county cup competitions. The vote also controversially meant that the bottom three Third Division clubs would be expelled from the League, with several clubs threatening legal action against the decision. The three relegated teams (Chorley Borough, Blackpool Gladiators and Nottingham City) were accepted into the National Conference League.
