The 1989–90 season was Port Vale’s seventy-eighth season of football in the Football League and first (thirty-third overall) season back in the Second Division following their promotion from the Third Division. They were playing in the second tier and at the same level as rivals Stoke City for the first time since 1956–57. John Rudge led his side to a comfortable mid-table finish whilst Stoke suffered relegation in bottom place despite the two derby matches finishing in draws.
