During the 1992–93 English football season, Ipswich Town competed in the inaugural season of the Premier League, following promotion from the First Division the previous season.

Season summary

In the 1992–93 season, Ipswich had a great start to the campaign and by January 1993, were in fourth place in the league and fans were hoping for at least a UEFA Cup place, maybe even the Premiership title, but a dip in form during the final weeks of the season saw the club finish 16th. ^[1]
