Notes:
- According to the draw, Bukovyna was selected as a host team in the Bukovyna–Viktoriya pair, in which both teams are from the second tier. At the same time Viktoriya was not able to play its home matches at its home stadium Yuvileinyi due to proximity to the frontlines (see Russo-Ukrainian War). The Ukrainian Association of Football regulations require that all quarterfinals hosting stadiums would correspond to the top tier (Ukrainian Premier League) league criteria for stadiums (best in the country). The stadium Bukovyna does not meet all the criteria for such stadium requirements due to lack of football field lighting and heating systems. The Chernivtsi club submitted request to UAF to make an exception for the club and allow hosting the match at the Bukovyna's home stadium, otherwise the game will have to be moved to Lviv or Ternopil.[9][10]
Semi-finals (1/2)
[edit]This round will include three clubs from the Premier League and a team from the First League.
