At the next meeting, the Ukrainian Premier League tried to make a decision to increase the number of participants in the championship to 16 clubs..
According to FootballHub, "UPL did not decide on the format change". It is noted that the final decision on this issue will be made later.. Recall that now the championship of Ukraine is represented by 12 teams.
The first stage consists of 22 rounds, where each team holds two meetings with each opponent..
After that, the tournament table is divided into two “sixes”, where the first one is fighting to get into the European Cups, and the second one - to maintain registration in the top division.
The last time the UPL was represented by 16 teams in the 2013/14 season. After that there were two seasons when 14 teams played.. Since the 2016/17 season, UPL is represented by 12 clubs..
