Relegation play-offs

The relegation–promotion play-off games were scheduled to take place between the 10th and 11th placed teams in the Relegation group of the Higher League (Vyshcha Liha), with the second and third placed teams of the First League (Persha Liha).

In the First League, the best of two teams from each of the two groups would enter a play-off mini-tournament where the first of each group plays against the second team of the other group. The winners of the two semifinal pairs play each other for the tier's title, which also grants a direct promotion to the Higher League; at the same time, the losing team as runner-up (second place) meets with the 11th-placed team of the Higher League in the promotion-relegation playoff. The two losing teams of the mentioned semifinal pairs also play each other for the tier's third place, and the winner of it enters the second playoff matchup with the 10th-placed team of the Higher League in the promotion-relegation playoff.

On 16 May 2025, the UAF Women's Football Committee announced that the playoffs between the First League teams and the Higher League teams will not take place since no teams from the First League (including Mynai, Pohoryna, Yunist, and Mariupol) passed the attestation for the Higher League, and, thus, cannot get promoted.[6]
