The 1994 Categoría Primera A season, known as the 1994 Copa Mustang for sponsorship purposes, was the forty-seventh season of Colombia's top-flight football league. Atlético Nacional won the league for the sixth time after winning the season's final quadrangular on bonus points, clinching the title with a 1–0 victory over crosstown rivals Independiente Medellín on 18 December, the final day of the season.[1]

Junior were the defending champions, but failed to advance to the final quadrangular after placing third in their semifinal group.

This season was split into four parts: Apertura and Finalización tournaments, the semifinal quadrangulars, and the final quadrangular. The Apertura and Finalización tournaments were played in a round-robin fashion, with the 16 teams playing each other once plus an extra match in the Apertura and twice more in the Finalización, for a total of 46 matches. The results of both the Apertura and the Finalización were combined into an aggregate table (Reclasificación), with the top eight teams in that table advancing to the semifinal quadrangulars. Bonus points for the final stages (semifinal and final quadrangulars) were awarded at the end of the Apertura and Finalización tournaments to the top four teams of each tournament, with the following scale being used: 1.00, 0.75, 0.50, and 0.25.[2]

In the semifinal quadrangulars, the eight qualified teams were split into two groups of four in which teams played each of their group rivals twice, with the top two in each group advancing to the final quadrangular stage, which was also played under a double round-robin fashion. The team topping the final quadrangular won the league championship, while the team placing last in the aggregate table was relegated to Categoría Primera B.[1]
