2024–25 Ukrainian First League

The 2024–25 Ukrainian First League is the 34th football league since its establishment. The league competition consisted of 18 teams. The competition is conducting during the ongoing war with the Russia since late February 2022.

Format

The PFL has decided to keep the split group format of double round-robin tournaments with 9 teams in group, total 18 teams. The number of teams has been reduced to 18 compared to the 20 last season. Similar to the last season the top teams will qualify for the promotion tournament, four from each, while less fortunate teams, five from each, will qualify for the relegation tournament.[1] Due to odd number of teams in both groups of the first stage, the second stage groups, promotion and relegation, will not have even number of teams. In total the first stage will have 18 rounds with 72 matches in each group, 16 for each team.[1]

The second stage will have another two groups one for promotion to the top tier, another for relegation to the tier below. The promotion group tournament will consist of 8 teams, top 4 teams from each group (A and B) of the first stage.[1] The teams' record from the previous stage will be grandfathered in full.[1] Each team in the promotion group will play 8 matches with the best four teams of the other group of the first stage (home and away).[1] In total there will be 32 matches.[1] The top two teams of the promotion group will get promotion rights to the Ukrainian Premier League, while the next two teams (3rd and 4th places) would receive a chance to get promotion rights through play-off match-up with the top tier teams.[1]

The teams that would place 5th through 9th in each group (A and B) in the first stage will form the relegation group.[1] The teams' record from the previous stage will be grandfathered in full as well.[1] Each 10 teams of the relegation group will play 10 matches with the 5 teams of the other group of the first stage (home and away).[1] In total there will be 50 matches.[1] The bottom three teams (places 8-10) will gain direct relegation to the tier below (Druha Liha/Ukrainian Second League), while teams that would place 6th and 7th will meet with runners-up of the Druha Liha in play-off match-ups to contest their place in the league.[1]
