Notes:
  1. ^ Volyn Lutsk was deducted six points according to a decision by FIFA Disciplinary Committee for a debt to a Serbian club FK Rad related to the transfer of Ivan Rogac.[5]
  2. ^ PFC Sumy received new ownership during winter break in the face of Serhiy Vashchenko who earlier this season was supposed to become the owner of Kobra Kharkiv.[6][7][8][9][10] The new head coach was announced also former head coach of Kobra, Oleksandr Oliynyk.[7][11] According to the former club's director Anatoliy Boiko, on 1 December 2018 PFC Sumy did not have any players on contract.[7] On 11 April 2019, the FFU Control and Disciplinary Committee adopted its decision to strip the club of professional status and exclude the club from any competitions that it is participating currently or in the future.[12] However the club has a right to file an appeal. Additional separate sanctions will be also applied against the club's playing and administrative personnel. On 14 April 2019, the chairman of the FFU committee of ethics and fair play noted that PFC Sumy has earned some 10 million euros in match fixing.[13] More to it, Ukrainian coach Oleksandr Sevidov who held post of head coach consultant in PFC Sumy and previously managed FC Illichivets Mariupol received a lifetime disqualification.[14]
  3. ^ On 17 February 2019, president of FC Zirka Kropyvnytskyi commented on his club's withdrawal from further participation in competitions of the Ukrainian First League.[15][16] The president accused the newly formed NABU and law enforcement authorities in pressure against him. The president of the league expressed his surprise claiming that there seemed no real reason why the club had to withdraw.[17] On 5 April 2019, the PFL council of leagues adopted its decision to remove FC Zirka Kropyvnytskyi from the League as it officially withdrew on 14 March 2019.[18] On 22 April 2019, the club's vice-president announced that the club will restart from regional competitions with intention to return the club's pro-status in the future.[19]
  4. ^ Kobra Kharkiv (former Helios) after failing to field a team for their Round 4 home match against Hirnyk-Sport Horishni Plavni informed the PFL that they are withdrawing from the competition. The club played three matches in the competition with a record of 3 losses scoring one goals and allowing eight goals scored against them. The PFL annulled their results as per league regulations and removed them from the official standings on the decision of the FFU Control and Disciplinary Committee of 23 August 2018.[20] Note, last year the club competed as FC Helios Kharkiv and was supposed to be merged with another Kharkiv club which continued to compete at amateur level.

The drawing for relegation playoff took place on 20 May 2019.[21]
