During the 1993–94 English football season, Sunderland A.F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary

A poor first half of the 1993–94 season resulted in Terry Butcher being sacked with the Black Cats in the relegation zone and Mick Buxton was appointed as his successor.[1] A tightening of the team's defence led to an improvement in results and Sunderland finished the season in 12th place.
