Vyshcha Liha teams notes

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] In January 2024, it became known that the President of WFC Voskhod, since late 2022, had re-registered his company in the Russian Federation.[3]

Vyshcha Liha stadiums
