Teams

On 21 June 2017, it was announced that 16 or 18 teams would play in the competition.[2][3] This decision was dependent on the possible withdrawal of FC Stal Kamianske from the Premier League.[4] Due to sanctions, FC Dnipro was relegated directly to the Second League which raised a discussion of a promotion possibly of another club to the First League. In addition in the case of the withdrawal of Stal, Desna had an opportunity to be accepted to the Ukrainian Premier League with another ongoing inter-season case (see Desna vs Veres promotion) leaving the First League with 16 participants. On 26 June 2017, FC Stal Kamianske chose to stay in the Premier League, while at same time FC Balkany Zorya was confirmed as the 18th participant of the First League season.[5]

The following teams have been promoted from the 2016–17 Ukrainian Second League:
