The 2002-03 season marked Sydney United's twentieth campaign in the NSL. The team finished 8th on the table, missing out on the final series.

Branko Culina retained his position for the season, but a series of poor results mid-season saw Culina leave the club, replaced by former player Tony Krslovic and Tony Pezzano as joint managers for the rest of the season.

Some notable player signings included four imports who were goalkeeper Vanja Iveša and defender Božidar Čačić from NK Novalja and NK Rijeka in Croatia, defender Boris Pavić from NK Čelik Zenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and also midfielder Slavomír Lukáč from FC Nitra in Slovakia.

Brendon Santalab finished top goalscorer for the season with six goals.
