The 1893–94 season was the second in the history of the Bristol & District League, which was renamed the Western League in 1895. After a single division the previous season, a second division was formed, mostly of reserve teams from Division One clubs.
Warmley were the Division One champions again, having won the league in its initial season the previous year. Their reserve team won the new Division Two.[1]
Division One
[edit]Two new clubs joined Division One for this season, increasing the number of clubs from nine to ten after the resignation of Wells City.

Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal average; 3) Number of goals scored. The points system: 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for losing. The system of using goal average to separate two teams tied on points was used up to and including the 1976–77 season. The tables as published at the time contained errors, hence the totals do not balance in some columns.
