All competition rounds consisted of a single game with a home field advantage granted to a team from lower league. Draw for all the rounds was blind. Qualification for the competition was granted to all professional clubs and four better performers of 2 last amateur seasons the 2022–23 Ukrainian Amateur Cup and the 2021–22 Ukrainian Amateur Cup.[5]
