The 2023–24 season of the Ukrainian Football Championship is the 33rd season of Ukraine's top women's football league. Consisting of two tiers it is scheduled to start on 5 August 2023.[1]
Due to the 2022 wide scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, several teams are not able to resume competitions.
The format of competitions for the season changed again. The Higher (Vyshcha) League returned to format consisting of two stages. At the first stage all 12 teams play single round robin with top 6 teams qualify for the Championship group and bottom 6 teams to Relegation group. Each group conducts double round robin tournament. The bottom team is to be relegated while 4th and 5th teams of Relegation table will contest their berth in the Higher League with better teams of the First League (2nd tier).
The First (Persha) League consists of two groups of 8. Each group conducts double round robin tournament with the top 2 teams from each group qualify for the championship play-off consisting of semi-finals, final and the match for the third place. The Champion of the First League gets direct promotion, while 2nd and 3rd will contest their berth in the Higher League with worser teams of the Higher League (1st tier).
In July of 2022, the women football department of the Ukrainian Association of Football decided to preserve place in the Vyshcha Liha for the next season (2023–24) for the main squads of Zhytlobud-1 and Voskhod "due to the difficult situation in their regions related to the Russian aggression against Ukraine".[2]
Due to ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine, many teams played their games in Kyiv or its suburbs. Critical role in providing a playing turf for the league's participant played Arsenal Arena and Livyi Bereh in the Kyiv's eastern suburbs Shchaslyve and Hnidyn.
