In the previous season new satellite broadcaster Sky Sports began to show one rugby league match a week. This year saw coverage extend to two matches a week (1 live on Friday Night's and a second match from the Sunday Afternoon Fixtures shown on Tape Delay on Sunday Night). Sky's first Friday Night broadcast was Sheffield 6 Wigan 46 from Don Valley Stadium on 28th August 1992. The Video Ref which is now in force for all televised Rugby League games was not introduced by Sky until the 1996 season.

The Lancashire Cup competition was played for the last time in this season as it was deemed the cup was adding to fixture congestion for more succesful sides and also that a local county cup did not fit the modern image of Rugby League. The decision was not announced however until after Wigan had won the cup for a record 21st time with a 5-4 away win over rivals St Helens.

Trafford Borough changed their name to Blackpool Gladiators.

At the end of the season the competition returned to two divisions. The top two Second Division clubs joined the new First Division, and the rest formed the new Second Division, apart from the bottom three clubs, Chorley Borough, Blackpool Gladiators and Nottingham City, being demoted to the National Conference League. The decision to do this was taken in mid-1993, and many thought it unfair to the three demoted clubs.
