Winners of 1993–94 First League (Obuvshchik Lida) were promoted to Belarusian Premier League. They were replaced by the last placed team of 1993–94 Premier League (Stroitel Starye Dorogi).

Smena Minsk, who finished 15th, relegated to the Second League. They were replaced by two best teams of 1993–94 Second League (Kardan-Flyers Grodno and Ataka-Aura Minsk). The number of participating teams thus was restored to 16.
