The 1992-93 Football League Cup (known as the Coca-Cola Cup for sponsorship reasons) was the 33rd edition of the Football League Cup, a knockout competition for English football's top four tiers.

This season's competition ran alongside the first season of the newly formed F.A. Premier League. The tournament was won by Arsenal, beating top level rivals Sheffield Wednesday 2–1 in the final at Wembley. This fixture would be repeated in the final of this seasons FA Cup also, which Arsenal would also win, albeit after a replay.^[2]

Ipswich Town forward Chris Kiwomya would finish as the tournament's joint-top goal scorer, along with Sheffield Wednesday striker Mark Bright, and Alan Shearer of Blackburn Rovers who all scored six.^[3]

Although winning the League Cup gave the victors a pathway into next seasons UEFA Cup, as Arsenal also won the FA Cup, they qualified for the more prestigious European Cup Winners' Cup, a tournament they would also win. Their spot in the UEFA Cup would be taken by Norwich City, who had finished third in the league.^[4]

This years competition began with only 91 teams entering (as opposed to the more customary 92). This was following Aldershot's resignation from the Football League that previous March, and was reduced further still as Maidstone United also resigned on 17 August 1992, just two days before they were scheduled to play their first match.^[5]
