The 2025–26 Ukrainian Second League is the 35th since its establishment. Due to regular airstrikes by the Russian Armed Forces, restrictions were implemented for attendance, with many games being played without spectators.
On 17 June 2025, the 35th PFL Conference determined the general composition of the competition and its format. As in the previous season, the competitions were planned to be held in two groups, split geographically, with one group consisting of 11 teams and another 12. The conference approved admission of 4 amateur teams from the AAFU competition and 3 teams from various junior competitions. Five teams decided to withdraw their participation in the third-tier competition.
The competitions were determined to start on 26 July 2025 and consist of a triple round robin format with two rounds held in summer-fall and one more in spring. It was also decided to preserve the post-season mini-tournaments, such as the first-place and third-place match-ups, as well as promotion/relegation between the first and the second leagues.
