The 1992–1993 season saw Leeds United competing in the inaugural FA Premier League, the FA Charity Shield and the UEFA Champions League as winners of the First Division the previous season.
Despite finishing first the previous season, Leeds suffered something of a reversal this season: they were eliminated from the Champions League by Rangers and finished in 17th place in the Premier League. Although their home form was amongst the best in the Premier League – they lost only once at home, 4–1 to a Nottingham Forest side that finished the season last, and managed to put 5 goals past both Blackburn and Tottenham, both of whom finished in the top eight – a failure to win away from home all season cost Leeds dearly. As the season drew to a close Leeds were in danger of being only the second team to be relegated a season after winning the league title, but managed to secure safety with a few matches to spare, although they did finish only two points away from relegation.
