Preliminarily, the issue of admitting fans to the stands in UPL and PFL matches will not be raised in the UAF until mid-autumn. The main reason for the stadium ban is the lack of political responsibility for the presence of fans in Ukrainian arenas during a full-scale war with Russia.

The UPL-2023/2024 season will start on 28 July. On the same day, the season in the first league will also begin. The second league will start a week later - on 6 August.
