The next season of European cups, 2025/2026, will start on June 17 with the draw for the first qualifying rounds in the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.

Here, the winner of the Ukrainian Cup — "Shakhtar" — will begin its campaign in the Europa League. Its first matches are scheduled for July 10 and 17.

Overall, four clubs will represent Ukraine in European competitions.

The Vbet League champion ("Dynamo") has secured a place in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. If they fail to advance through three stages, our champion will move on to the third qualifying round of the Europa League.

One club will represent Ukraine in the Europa League — in the first qualifying round. This right was earned by the Cup winner. In case of an initial failure in the Europa League qualifiers, they will enter the second qualifying round of the Conference League.

In the basic registration for the Conference League, our country will have two delegates. The second team from the UPL ("Oleksandria") and the fourth ("Polesye") will start in the second qualifying round. Thus, our clubs will need to overcome three opponents to reach the main draw of the Conference League.

We add that in all three main rounds of European competitions, there will again be 36 clubs participating.
