↑ It was among the first eparchies of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Church, which in 1992 became part of the UOC-KP.
↑ Due to the occupation of Crimea, the eparchial administration received the approval from the Holy Synod to change its location on 13 July 2025.^[3]
↑ Existed since 1992, it was vacant until 1993.
↑ Existed since 1991, it was vacant until 2017.
↑ Following the 1992 Kharkiv schism and the 1992 unification council, the original "Lviv—Drohobych" eparchy ruled by bishop Andriy was split between two bishops, Andriy and Volodymyr. Bishop Andriy, who was the previously ruling bishop of the Lviv—Drohobych eparchy, became the ruling bishop of the Drohobych—Sambir eparchy, while Archbishop Volodymyr became the ruling bishop of the Lviv—Sokal eparchy.
↑ In 1992, the eparchy also joined the UOC-KP, but in 1995, it became among the first to support the revival of the UAOC and remained so until the 2018 unification council.
↑ Following the reinstatement of the UAOC, a separate eparchy within the UOC-KP, which remained vacant until 1997.
↑ The eparchy is considered a successor of the Eparchy of Khmelnytskyi (UAOC), which was created in 1991.^[4] For an extended time, it remained vacant and was sometimes ruled by troubled bishops. In 2024, it was created after the reduction of eparchies in Chernivtsi Oblast. Previous bishops of the Eparchy of Khmelnytskyi (UAOC): Antoniy (Fialko) and Adrian (Kulyk).
↑ It was created in 1997, after the 1997 Kherson religious scandal, when the Kherson city parish, which was part of the Russian Church, protested against the ruling bishop and was accepted into the Ukrainian Church.
↑ Following the 1992 Kharkiv schism, the metropolitan eparchy of Kyiv, ruled by Metropolitan Filaret (Denysenko), became the metropolitan eparchy of the United Ukrainian church, and the metropolitan see was reserved for the diasporan Hierarch Mstyslav, who led the UAOC. Patriarch Mstyslav refused the honor. During the 2018 unification council, arrangements were made for Metropolitan Filaret to stay as a ruled bishop of his eparchy, however due to arguments between Metropolitans Filaret and Epiphanius, the arrangements were canceled, and the eparchy was restructured.
↑ Following the 1992 unification council, the UAOC lost jurisdiction in both of its eparchies in Volhynia. In 1996, the eparchy of Rivne was reinstated, and later in 1997, the vacant eparchy of Lutsk was merged into it. Soon after the merger in 1997, the eparchy became vacant until 2018. Bishops of the Eparchy of Lutsk (UAOC): Mykolai (Hrokh) and Feoktyst (Peresada).
↑ Created in 1992, the eparchy remained vacant until 2015.
↑ In 1995, the eparchy was divided into the Eparchy of Ternopil and Buchach (UOC-KP) and the Eparchy of Ternopil and Kremenets. In 2012, the two eparchies were merged again. Bishops of the Eparchy of Kremenets: Yakiv (Panchuk) and Iov (Pavlyshyn).
↑ Created in 1990, the Eparchy of Zakarpattia was vacant in 1991 – 2014.
↑ Created in 2024, the Eparchy of Vyshhorod was proclaimed a successor of the Eparchy of Kyiv (UAOC).^[5] Bishops of Kyiv (UAOC): Mstyslav of Ukraine, Demetrius of Ukraine, Methodius of Ukraine, Macarius of Ukraine.
