The 1993–94 season was Blackpool F.C.'s 86th season (83rd consecutive) in the Football League. They competed in the 24-team Division Two, then the third tier of English league football, finishing twentieth, avoiding relegation by one point after a final-day 4–1 victory over Leyton Orient at Bloomfield Road. It was Billy Ayre's third full season as manager

Andy Watson was the club's top league scorer, with twenty goals.

On 22 January 1994, Blackpool ended a run of seven consecutive defeats with a 1–1 draw against Swansea City at Bloomfield Road. Andy Gouck put the Seasiders ahead after seven minutes. The free admission attracted 7,080 spectators to the match, and the experiment was a deemed a success. "The crowd was twice as big as we would have expected otherwise," said Billy Ayre. "It gave us all a lift."^[1]
