After the matches, of UPL 32nd round the schedule of the start of Ukrainian clubs in the European Cups next season became known. Our association will be represented on the international arena by five FCs. 

Thus, Shakhtar, as the winner of the Premier League, has a ticket to the group stage of the Champions League, Dynamo, which won silver medals, to the third qualifying round of the Champions League. Kievans will have to overcome the resistance of two rivals to get to the main grid. In case of failure at any stage, our representative will automatically move to the group round of the Europa League.

Ukraine will be represented by three clubs in the Europa League. The winner of the National Cup should have reached the group stage together with 16 other participants, but Shakhtar's success gave such a right to the bronze medalist of the Premier League - "Alexandria". 

In turn, the fifth UPL team, which became "Zorya", will start in the second qualifying round, and the fourth ("Mariupol") - in the third. Thus, our delegates will need to pass three and two opponents, respectively, to get to the main grid of the Champions League.
