During the 2002–03 English football season, Coventry City F.C. competed in the Football League First Division. It was the club's second consecutive season at that level.

Season summary

In the 2002–03 season, midway through the campaign, McAllister's men still stood a good chance of making the division One play-offs, but they won only one league game after the turn of 2003 and finished 20th in the final table - just two places above the relegation zone.
