Teams

This season the Ukrainian Premier League remained at 16 teams. Two teams had their status suspended due to the Russian occupation and/or destruction of their sports infrastructure. If one or both of Desna and Mariupol decide to return to the league competitions next season, it has been determined that the league would be increased to 18 teams.[4] On June 9, 2023 the president of FC Desna stated that the club would return to professional football the next season in 2024 and would start from the Second League due to issues with player transfers.[5][6]
