About UPL
The Ukrainian Premier League is an association of professional football clubs in Ukraine, responsible for organizing competitions between the country's top teams.
 
Our goal is to develop a league that can compete with other top European leagues in terms of quality and entertainment value. This includes building a strong commercial system that enables clubs to generate revenue through media rights, sponsorships, and their own brand—similar to the successful business models used in leading European championships.
 
Beyond football, the Ukrainian Premier League aims to foster a broader football culture that benefits society. It seeks to inspire young people, promote values like respect, determination, and honesty, and encourage a healthy lifestyle. Professional athletes serve as role models, demonstrating what it takes to succeed both on and off the field.
