The 2022–23 Ukrainian football championship among amateur teams was the 27th season since it replaced the football championship of physical culture teams. The league competition is organized by the Association of Amateur Football of Ukraine (AAFU).
On 5 September 2022, the AAFU published information about the upcoming season with a tentative composition.[1] Since the Russo-Ukrainian War grew in its intensity in 2022, many clubs were not able to field their teams for the competition.
The championship started on 10 September 2022 and regular calendar matches continued until end of October with few postponed games conducted as late as 12 November 2022. The championship was resumed in April with several postponed games as early as 8 April 2023.[2]
