The Ukrainian Football Association has officially approved the regulations of the Ukrainian Premier League for the 2026/27 season, which makes a few important changes.

One of the key innovations was the update of the limit on legionnaires. Now a team can have up to seven foreign football players on the field at one time, but the number can increase to eight, since among them there would like to be one giant from a member state of the European Union. In this case, at least three Ukrainian football players are looming on the field. Since there are no footballers with an EU passport, the team is guilty of the mother of no less than four Ukrainians.

Also, the UAF increased the contribution for legionnaires from 150 thousand to 400 thousand hryvnia for a foreign skin citizen. Half of the money withdrawn will go directly to the financing of the arbitration of matches of the National League in May, and the other half will go to the promotion of clubs that will most likely invest the playing hour of Ukrainian football players in the past..

In addition, the clubs denied the opportunity to reschedule matches for the championship through participation in European cups. For whom it is necessary to submit a valid request to the Directorate of the Administration no later than this day before the game.

Another innovation was the creation of a new U-21 tournament for Premier League clubs. In this case, the 2005 football game is based on the youth and youth, in which up to six senior players can be included before the application, but at the same time there can be no more than five of them on the field.

The same regulation for making changes can be made possible for head coaches, the selection of main and reserve stadiums, and also improves the organizational procedures for holding matches..
