All eight teams that participated in the 1901 MJFA season continued in 1902. One new club, the Hawthorn Football Club, was formed in April 1902 and admitted into the Association several weeks later, bringing the total number of teams to nine.
In round 7, the Celtic Football Club was scheduled to play a match against Beverley. However, Beverley won after Celtic forfeited.
Celtic had a bye the following week in round 8, but was scheduled to play Brighton in round 9. However, "owing to a misunderstanding", Celtic did not state where the game was supposed to be played. The match was eventually called off, and Brighton claimed a walkover victory. Celtic disbanded the following week, prior to a scheduled match against Caulfield at the East Melbourne Cricket Ground, having lost all of its eight games.
Total games "played" and "won" includes all walkover victories over Celtic.
At the time, the MJFA premiership was decided by the best overall record for the season. In the event of a tie, a playoff match would have been held.
1902 was the second time in MJFA history that such a match was required (the first being in 1900), with Collegians and Brighton finishing with 60 premiership points each.
