This would be the final edition of the UEFA Cup with the classic 64-team format thad had been in use since 1968, inherited from the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup., before the competition was expanded to accommodate both the new European countries and changes in the UEFA Champions League format. This was the only UEFA Cup or UEFA Europa League edition where an Austrian side reached the final, the third overall for an Austrian team in European competition and the first since Rapid Wien in the 1985 European Cup Winners' Cup.
A total of 64 teams from 30 UEFA member associations participated in the 1993–94 UEFA Cup, all entering from the first round over six knock-out rounds. The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients was originally used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:
- Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify.
- Associations 4–8 each have three teams qualify.
- Associations 9–20 each have two teams qualify.
- Associations 21–32 each have one team qualify.
Additionally, associations 9–12 gained a third birth due to Yugoslavia being banned under United Nations embargo and Albania withdrawing from the competition.
Ukraine now had its own allocation as an unranked association alongside Slovenia, after both of them were represented in the previous UEFA Cup. Both associations took over the places of East Germany, which had ceased to exist as a country in 1991 after the German reunification, and its results had been erased from the UEFA ranking. To rebalance the allocations, the association placed on the 21st spot was not originally slated to have a second birth like it had previously. However, Poland had its UEFA Cup allocation removed due to its football scandal, and its two places were reassigned to associations 21–22 as a second birth.
Association ranking
For the 1993–94 UEFA Cup, the associations are allocated places according to their 1992 UEFA country coefficients, which takes into account their performance in European competitions from 1987–88 to 1991–92. Therefore, it did not include any of the new football federations that had joined UEFA in the previous years, including competing associations Ukraine and Slovenia. Having returned to European competitions in 1990 after a five-year ban, England's score was limited to the last two of the five seasons accounted for in the ranking.

Yugoslavia: Due to the breakup of the country and the ensuing warfare, Yugoslavia was disqualified from European club competitions, a situation that would last for three seasons. Their three slots in the UEFA Cup were allocated as a third berth for associations 9-11, namely Russia, Romania, and Czechoslovakia. In Yugoslavia, Vojvodina, Zemun and Rad would have qualified by league position.
Soviet Union & Russia: After the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the agreement with Ukraine and UEFA, Russia had become the formal successor for all Soviet football heritage. The 1992 UEFA rankings still reflected the Soviet Union, as the Russian association was yet to make its independent debut at the time, but all three of its places were awarded through the 1992 Russian Top League, which only featured Russian teams
Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic & Slovakia: Halfway through the 1992–93 Czechoslovak First League, Czechoslovakia was formally dissolved into two new countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. With the original allocation of three teams into place, one Czech team and two Slovak teams qualified, each of them now representing their own association. All Czechoslovak football heritage was attributed to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia while they simultaneously have a new ranking moving forward.
East Germany, Slovenia & Ukraine: Teams from East Germany represented the country in the first three years accounted for in the 1992 UEFA rankings, but the country had long been reunificated into Germany, and UEFA no more considered East Germany, which would've been granted two spots. In the previous season, Slovenia had benefitted from the subsequent reorganization by taking the vacant spot that resulted from other countries moving up, and was awarded one place again despite their previous results not being counted yet towards the rankings. In the other hand, Ukraine had a team in the previous UEFA Cup through the Soviet league, and now had its own league. In order for them to have a spot, it was taken from association 21, Hungary, which would regain it anyway due to the ban imposed on Poland.
Poland: ŁKS Łódź and Lech Poznan originally qualified for the UEFA Cup on June 20 by finishing second and third in the 1992-93 Ekstraklasa. However, the events of the final game day, known as the Sunday of Miracles, prompted the Polish association to cancel the results of the original champions Legia Warsaw and ŁKS Łódź on July 10 over allegations of bribery, giving Lech Poznan the title. Subsequently, UEFA disqualified both Legia Warsaw and ŁKS Łódź from taking part in the UEFA Cup, and forfeited both births. These slots were allocated as a second birth for associations 21–22, namely Hungary and Bulgaria.
Wales: Despite the formation of the League of Wales in 1992, UEFA did not award the country a place in the UEFA Cup due to the 64-team format, like many other of the new football leagues at the time. The Football Association of Wales still qualified a team for the UEFA Champions League, while the Welsh Cup continued to provide a winner (or best-placed Welsh team as several English teams also competed) in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Its virtual ranking is only an original research, because the UEFA country ranking was only used to allocate the UEFA Cup spots at time, so Wales was not included.
Albania: After one year of exclusion due to the Fall of communism in the country and subsequent instability, Albania rejoined European competitions, but elected not to enter a team in the UEFA Cup. Their slot was allocated as a third berth to association 12, Scotland. In Albania, Teuta would have qualified by league position.

Notes
- ^ France: Monaco qualified for the UEFA Cup by finishing third in the 1992–93 French Division 1, but the team was promoted to the UEFA Champions League after Marseille was disqualified due to its involvement in the French football bribery scandal and Paris Saint-Germain refused to take the title or Marseille's UEC place, remaining in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup instead. Auxerre, the next best team not qualified for European competition, took its place in the UEFA Cup.
