Liga was the inaugural season of the 2. česká fotbalová liga, the second tier of the Czech football league following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
Seventh-placed Jablonec played a two-legged promotion/relegation playoff with Bohemians from the top league, which Bohemians won, resulting in no Czech teams being relegated from the top flight.
[1] Eight out of the ten remaining teams from the previous season stayed at this level, and the last two won a mini-league playoff with two lower teams.
They were joined by six new teams who had played the previous season in the third tier of football.
These were Blšany, Teplice and Turnov, who had finished in the top three positions of the previous season's Bohemian region competition and Frýdek-Místek, Bohumín and LeRK Brno, who had finished in the top three places of the Moravian–Silesian group.
