Notes

• With the asterisk (*) are noted the Second League teams that were recently admitted to the league from amateurs and the AAFU (amateur) team(s) that qualified in place of the Amateur Cup finalist(s).
• Due to the FIFA sanctions, FC Dnipro, that last season was representing the Premier League, was forced to start the season as a member of the Second League. At the same time to the Second League was admitted the newly created club SC Dnipro-1 that according to SC Dnipro-1 founders had no relationship to FC Dnipro although did inherit their football academy.
• Two reserve teams from the Second League did not compete: Mykolaiv-2, Inhulets-2.

• Only few days before the start of the competition, on 6 July 2017 number of clubs announced that they have various major issues in taking part of the competition, among which are FC Arsenal-Kyivshchyna Bila Tserkva,^[5] FC Metalurh Zaporizhia,^[6] FC Sudnobudivnyk Mykolaiv^[7] (the last two, because of problems with their stadiums). On the other hand, both FC Ternopil^[8] and FC Lviv confirmed that they are ready for the competition.

• FC Lviv announced that it will play its first game of Ukrainian Cup competition in Rava-Ruska.^[9] Earlier on 5 July 2017 it was announced that Metalist 1925 answered to the call of Nyva Ternopil to switch the draw arrangement and agreed to play the game in Kharkiv.^[10] Nyva was not able to find consensus to play at the Ternopil city stadium (Miskyi) as FC Ternopil was scheduled to play at the stadium that day as well. Related documents were sent up to the Football Federation of Ukraine. On 7 July 2017 the Football Federation of Ukraine approved to conduct the game between Metalurh and Polissya at Kolos Stadium in Chkalove, Nikopol Raion^[11] as well as the game between Sudnobudivnyk and Balkany that took place on 10 July 2017 at Ivan Stadium in Odesa.^[12] Also the match arrangements between Metalist 1925 and Nyva to play in Kharkiv instead of Ternopil was approved and Metalist 1925 hosted Nyva at Sonyachny Training Center.^[13]
