The 2025–26 Ukrainian First League is the 35th football season of the Ukrainian second-tier competition, PFL Persha Liha (PFL First League or Ukrainian First League), since its establishment. The league competition consisted of 16 teams. The competition is being conducted during the ongoing war with Russia since late February 2022.

Format

It was planned to have 16 teams for this season.[1] The format of the competition changed compared with the previous season. Instead of two groups in the fall and the spring, it was decided that clubs would compete in a straightforward double round robin format.[2]

Teams

This season, the Ukrainian First League consisted of 16 teams.

Newcoming teams

One team received direct promotion, and another won a playoff matchup at the end of the 2024–25 Ukrainian Second League.

Relegated teams

Four teams were relegated at the end of the 2024–25 Ukrainian Premier League.

Outgoing teams

Four teams were promoted to the 2025–26 Ukrainian Premier League.

  • Metalist 1925 Kharkiv – promoted after a season in the second tier.
  • Epitsentr Kamianets-Podilskyi – promoted for the first time after three seasons in the second tier.
  • Poltava – promoted for the first time after three seasons in the second tier.
  • Kudrivka – promoted for the first time after a season in the second tier.

Relegated teams

Three teams were relegated to the 2025–26 Ukrainian Second League, but one withdrew right after it, and another Metalurh Zaporizhzhia was reinstated after the withdrawal of Mynai.

Other administrative issues

Withdrawn teams

  • Mynai withdrew less than two weeks before the start of the season in the First League. It was replaced by relegated Metalurh Zaporizhzhia, which was preparing to start in the Second League. The club withdrew after a season (2 total) in the second tier.
  • One more club withdrew right after the previous season, after it was relegated, which is Kremin Kremenchuk.

Notes:
  1. ^ The round 5 match Chernihiv v Livyi Bereh that was scheduled to take place on September 6, 2025, did not even start due to an extended air raid alert over the north-eastern portions of Ukraine and had to be postponed.[28] On 24 October 2025, the General Director of FC Chernihiv informed in an interview that the replay of the match was scheduled to take place on November 12, 2025.[29]
  2. ^ The round 7 match Chernihiv v Metalist that was scheduled to take place on September 21, 2025, did not even start due to an extended air raid alert and had to be postponed.[30][31][32][33] On 24 October 2025, the General Director of FC Chernihiv informed in an interview that his club is seeking to convince the federation administration that Metalist deserved to receive a technical loss.[29]
  3. ^ The round 13 match Chernihiv v Metalurh that was scheduled to take place on October 24, 2025, did not even start due to an extended air raid alert and had to be postponed.[29] On 5 November 2025, it was announced that the game was scheduled to take place on December 4, 2025.[34] The game between Chernihiv and Metalurh could not start on December 4 due to air raid sirens and was postponed again, on 15 December.[35][36]
  4. ^ The round 16 match Chernihiv v Probiy that was scheduled to take place on November 16, 2025, did not even start due to an extended air raid alert and had to be postponed. Just as the situation with Metalist, Probiy also did not wait for more than an hour before departing back home.[37] It was rescheduled for 9 December.[38]
  5. ^ The round 1 match Chornomorets vs Nyva that took place on August 2, 2025, ended in a 2–1 victory for the Odesa club, but on the UAF CDC decision on August 7, 2025, it was changed to 3–0 because of an ineligible player in the referee report.[39] Nyva Ternopil was fined for 25,000 hryvnia.
  6. ^ The round 1 match Metalurh v Metalist was scheduled to take place on August 3, 2025, but at the request of Metalist has been postponed by the Professional Football League as the club delegated four of its players to the Ukraine national under-19 team.[40] The match was rescheduled for September 25, 2025.
  7. ^ The round 17 match Metalurh v Nyva was scheduled to take place on November 22, 2025, but was stopped and postponed during a play due to an extended air raid sirens. The match was played out from the 76th minute on December 7, 2025, and Nyva Ternopil managed to score, saving themselves from a loss.[41]
  8. ^ Administrative score. The round 8 match Podillya v Prykarpattia-Blaho that took place on September 28, 2025, and ended in a 2–1 victory for Podillya, was reviewed by the UAF Control and Disciplinary Commission. On 2 October 2025, the result of the match was scratched and replaced with a technical loss to Podillya (0:3) and a technical victory for Prykarpattia-Blaho (3:0), as Podillya submitted a footballer's name to the referee report, who was disqualified.[42]
