Notes:
The second places of each group will play-off for the third [65] promotion for the First League. Later with withdrawal of several clubs, the format changed (see 2018–19 Ukrainian First League#Format). The second place runners-up will play with the Persha Liha thirteenth and fourteenth places, yet with expansion of the UPL those teams will receive direct promotion and the third placed teams will be contesting promotion in play-offs.
On 7 May 2019 it was announced that the final game between group winners of the Second League will take place in Kropyvnytskyi. [66]

Notes:
The second places of each group will play-off for the third [65] promotion for the First League. Later with withdrawal of several clubs, the format changed (see 2018–19 Ukrainian First League#Format). The second place runners-up will play with the Persha Liha thirteenth and fourteenth places, yet with expansion of the UPL those teams will receive direct promotion and the third placed teams will be contesting promotion in play-offs.
On 7 May 2019 it was announced that the final game between group winners of the Second League will take place in Kropyvnytskyi. [66]
