2023–24 Ukrainian Cup

The 2023–24 Ukrainian Cup was the 32nd annual season of Ukraine's football knockout competition. The competition is planned to start on 29 July 2023 and be concluded on 15 May 2024 with the final. The competition has been resumed after being paused for a season due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and an attempt to resume league competitions.[2] In the fall of the last year (2022), there was information about possibility of resuming cup competitions in the spring (2023), but the idea was never realized.[3][4]
