Notes:
  • ^(1) The competition allows for the finalists of the Ukrainian Amateur Cup. However the winner of the 2014 Ukrainian Amateur Cup, AF Piatykhatska Volodymyrivka (renamed as FC Inhulets Petrove) joined the PFL. Hence the PFL replaced their vacated spot with the highest ranked team. Since both of the semi-finalists of the Amateur Cup also joined the PFL, of the remaining quarter-finalists, Balkany Zorya was the highest ranked team.

Round of 32

In this round all 14 teams from the 2014–15 Ukrainian Premier League, 5 highest ranking clubs from 2014–15 Ukrainian First League and 13 winners from the Preliminary round enter this stage of the competition which also includes 8 teams from the 2014–15 Ukrainian First League, 4 teams from the 2014–15 Ukrainian Second League and last season's Ukrainian Amateur Cup quarter-finalist.[5] The draw for this round was held on 29 July 2015 at the House of Football in Kiev.[5]

Notes
  1. the winner qualified for the UEFA Champions League
  2. Game was played at Kolos Stadium, Boryspil
gollark: Actually, if it's upside down they'll be on the other side too, remember?
gollark: That would actually be more convenient for me during most of my phone use, though it would be a bit weird.
gollark: Or have four sets of ports, one on each side.There are so many possibilities other than boring generic "top or bottom".
gollark: Or just get rid of all ports and have it be wireless.
gollark: Well, except in that case you might as well hold the phone upside down and have both on the bottom.
