Having lost their place in the First Division in the Test Match Series, Accrington resigned from the League before the following season started rather than take up a place in Division 2.

For the 1893 season, the Second Division will be extended from 12 to 16 clubs. Lincoln City, Bootle, Sheffield United and Walsall Town Swifts have all been re-elected to the Second Division. New clubs elected to the Second Division are Woolwich Arsenal (London), Liverpool, Newcastle United and Rotherham Town.

Accrington, having elected to resign from the League rather than be relegated to the Second Division, will be replaced by Middlesbrough Ironopolis.
