    The 2023–24 Ukrainian First League is the 33rd football league since its establishment. The league competition consisted of 20 teams. The competition is conducting during the ongoing war with the Russia since late February 2022. It was decided to conduct competitions in two groups.[1]

    The competitions were officially approved by the Ukrainian Association of Football Executive Committee only two days before the start of the season.[2] Matches of the First League were the first games of the 2023–24 season.

    Format

    Due to the Russo-Ukrainian War, the league competitions changed its usual format. The Professional Football League of Ukraine (PFL) Conference adopted changes to the 2022–23 season after some 24 PFL teams were forced to suspend their activities or dissolve. It was decided to keep the number of participants at 20,[3] but split them in two groups of 10.

    The competitions are scheduled to consist of two stages. At the first stage two groups of 10 would conduct a usual double round-robin tournament. At the second stage, the top five from each group form the promotion group, while the bottom five from each group – the relegation group. Points earned at the first stage will be kept for the second, while teams would only be playing with participants of the group. So, in total each team is expected to play 28 games. The top two teams of the promotion group receive direct promotion to the Ukrainian Premier League (UPL), while the 3rd and the 4th would play promotion relegation play-off with the 14th and the 13th teams of UPL, respectively.[4] In case if Desna and Mariupol would decide to return, play-off games will be canceled and the UPL will be expanded.

    Later it was clarified that for the second stage teams will be keeping all their points, unlike in the previous season when clubs only kept points with their opponents that joined them for the second stage from the first stage.[5]

    Teams

    This season, Ukrainian First League consisted of 20 teams.

    Two teams were promoted at the end of the 2022–23 Ukrainian Second League.

    Two more teams were allowed to return as members of the 2021–22 Ukrainian First League.

    Two more were promoted from the 2021–22 Ukrainian Second League.

    Relegated teams

    Two teams were relegated at the end of the 2022–23 Ukrainian Premier League.

    Relocated teams

    Due to the Russian military aggression, three clubs in the league were forced to relocate.

    Withdrawn teams

    The 31st PFL Conference stripped five clubs of their membership in the Professional Football League due to no reply and non-payment of dues. The conference approved to reserve membership for some other clubs without their actual active participation in competitions this season.[10]

    FC Lviv (relegated),[11][12][13][14] Skoruk Tomakivka,[15][16] FC Uzhhorod, FC Kramatorsk, VPK-Ahro Shevchenkivka

    Reorganization

    • Nyva Buzova changed its owner. On 14 December 2023 it was announced that original owner abandoned the club, and it was passed on to another club FC Kudrivka (Second League) which plans to relocate to Kyiv suburb of Irpin next season.[17] The announcement appeared a day before the second stage draw. Earlier on 1 December 2023 Ihor Zhabchenko has confirmed the club's intent to withdraw from competitions.[18] On 5 January 2024 it was announced that the head coach of the second tier Kudrivka Roman Loktionov became the head coach of Nyva Buzova.[19]
