1992-93 Austrian football championship

The 1992-93 Austrian football championship  was organized by the Austrian Football Association The top-flight First Division and the second-tier Second Division were merged this season through a playoff format. The third tier consisted of the Regionalliga East (Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland) and West (Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg), as well as the regional leagues of Carinthia, Upper Austria and Styria. The championship was decided for the last time using regular season rounds (1st and 2nd divisions) and play-off competitions . For the 1993/94 season, the two top divisions consisted of 10 teams (1st division) and 16 teams (2nd division).

In the 1992/93 season of the Austrian Championship in the 1st Division, there was a rematch of the previous year's duel between Austria Wien  and Austria Salzburg. VfB Mödling and  SK Sturm Graz  were promoted from the intermediate play off for the 1993-94 season.
Mode 
The championship in the 1st and 2nd Divisions was initially contested in the fall with 12 teams. Each team initially played 22 matches. The teams were then divided into the Champion play off (1st to 8th in the 1st Division), the Intermediate play off  (9th to 12th in the 1st Division and 1st to 4th in the 2nd Division) and the Relegation play off (5th to 12th in the 2nd Division) for the spring championship. This meant that the Masters Playoff determined the champions and European Cup berths, the Intermediate play off determined promotions and relegations between the 1st and 2nd Divisions.  Relegation Playoff determined teams relegated to the regional and state leagues. Half of the points from the regular season were carried over to the championship playoffs.
