The Ukrainian Third League, also known as the Transitional League, was part of the Ukrainian professional football clubs competition. It was the lowest club level of competition from the fall of 1992 to the spring of 1995. The League was created after the reorganization once the first championship was completed. For couple years the League was yielding four promotions each year. That in turn fueled the rise of the Ukrainian new football giants -- FC Arsenal Kyiv and FC Metalurh Donetsk. At the end of the 1995 season the League was incorporated into the Second League and the pools of the both Leagues were then split into two groups.
