The 1993 Canadian Football League season is considered to be the 40th season in modern-day Canadian football, although it is officially the 36th Canadian Football League season.

CFL news in 1993

On February 23, the Sacramento Gold Miners were announced as the CFL's ninth franchise, during the league's annual meetings in Hamilton. The team was to begin play in 1993, with the West Division. Sacramento became the first U.S.-based team to play in the CFL, and it was the first expansion team to be admitted in to the league since 1954, when the B.C. Lions became a franchise.

On March 6, The Canadian College Draft was held in Calgary, becoming the first Western Canadian city to host the event, since Winnipeg in 1971. Calgary also played host to the Grey Cup game for only the second time in history on Sunday, November 28. In that game, the Edmonton Eskimos defeated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 33-23.

Records: Dave Ridgway set the CFL record for consecutive field goals made with 28.
