The 2024–25 Ukrainian Second League is the 34th since its establishment.
The competition started on 7 August 2024 and was scheduled to pause for a winter intermission on 27 October after Round 12 but was extended due to Russian hostilities of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. The last 6 rounds of the competition were scheduled to be played in the following spring. For the winter break, both second teams of Rukh-2 (Group A, Rukh Lviv) and Kolos-2 (Group B, Kolos Kovalivka) finished at the top of their respective groups.[1]
