The defending champions were the 16-time winners Dynamo Kyiv. The previous 2021–22 season was abandoned due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[2] Although Shakhtar Donetsk were at the top of the table when the league was abandoned, no title was officially awarded ("The handing out of awards to the league's medalists will not take place").^[3]

The current season began on 23 August 2022 and ended on 3 June 2023.^[4] Shakhtar Donetsk were crowned champions for the 14th time in their history.

Preparation

War in Ukraine

Due to the full-scale invasion of Russia, teams were discussing the possibility of playing in western Ukraine as well as Poland. On 27 May 2022, a conference was held in the House of Football involving participants of the Ukrainian Premier League along with the UAF presidium. Topics discussed at the conference included the continuation of the league, possible places and dates of conducting it as well as its format for the future season.^[5] On 25 June, the league's executive director, Yevhen Dykyi, explained that the season was expected to start on 20 August in the usual format with 16 participants.^[6][7] Later, the president of the Ukrainian Association of Football clarified that the only teams allowed to play abroad would be those still in continental competitions, subject to their opponents' agreement.^[8]

Some football functionaries criticised conducting the competitions due to risks of deliberate Russian missile attacks.^[9]

Official ball

PUMA Orbita Ball is official football ball of the 2022–23 Ukrainian Premier League, and the Puma brand became an official technical sponsor.^[10] It is the leading ball model, certified by FIFA, designed specifically for professional football.^[10]

• The ball formed with high frequency technology provides excellent stability and reduced water absorption, as well as a soft ball feel.
• New 12-panel concept: identical sized panels for a perfectly balanced weight and flight behavior.
• Surface: 1.2mm thick 3D surface for greater durability and better aerodynamics. Innovative POE foam for strong grip, improved rebound performance and impact strength.^[10]

Teams

This season the Ukrainian Premier League has kept 16 teams, which includes 14 teams from the previous season and the top two teams from the 2021–22 Ukrainian First League. Two teams had their status suspended due to the Russian occupation and/or destruction of their sports infrastructure.

Promoted teams

• Metalist Kharkiv – first-placed team of the 2021–22 Ukrainian First League (last competed in 2015–16)
• Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih – second-placed team of the 2021–22 Ukrainian First League (last competed in 2012–13)
  • Note: both clubs were adopted by the Ukrainian Premier League as their predecessors despite the fact that both Metalist and Kryvbas were dissolved in 2016 and 2013 respectfully. The new Metalist was renamed from Metal Kharkiv in 2021, while the new Kryvbas was renamed from Hirnyk Kryvyi Rih in 2020.

Omitted teams

• Mariupol – the 16th place team of the 2021–22 Ukrainian Premier League (ending their five-year stay in the top-flight)
• Desna Chernihiv – the 7th place team of the 2021–22 Ukrainian Premier League (ending their four-year stay in the top-flight)

In case if one or both Desna and Mariupol decide to return to the league competitions next season, it is predetermined that the league team pool would be increased to 18 teams.^[11]
