Ukrainian First League 1992 was the first Ukrainian First League season with the record number of teams participating in the league at 28 divided into groups. The season started on March 14 and finished July 5, 1992.

At the end of the season the five worst teams from each of the two groups were relegated to the Ukrainian Second League (the third tier). The winners of each group qualified for the top league for the next season. Somewhat surprising was the performance of such teams as Pryladyst Mukacheve and Artania Ochakiv that were just a few points short of qualifying for the Ukrainian Premier League.

Teams

In the 1992 season, the Ukrainian First League consisted mostly of clubs that had competed in the Soviet Second League (Ukrainian Zone). The league was supplemented by the second teams of Dynamo, Shakhtar, and Chornomorets as well as Azovets Mariupol, Polihraftekhnika Olexandria, and Krystal Chortkiv, the best three teams of the amateur championship in 1991 (KFK). The worst three teams of the former Soviet Second League (Ukrainian Zone) were placed in the third tier of competition for this season.
