After the fall of the Soviet Union on January 1, 1992, most of the Ukrainian clubs that participated in the top three tiers of the All-Soviet League system, composed the
1992 Vyshcha Liha (Higher League). At the same time, the Ukrainian clubs that participated in the Soviet 4th tier, which was recently revived in 1990, had formed the new
1992 Persha Liha (First League). The participants of those two leagues were also included in the
1992 Ukrainian Cup competition. The worst three teams that competed in the Soviet 4th tier (Buffer League or Soviet Second League "B"), which featured the Ukrainian republican football competition, along with other republican competitions, were conditionally relegated and joined the pool of former KFK teams to compete in the 1992 Perekhidna Liha (Transitional League). This new competition was composed of 18 teams, which were split geographically into two groups: Group 1 - West and North, Group 2 - East and South. Also, the clubs of this competition did not participate in the
Ukrainian Cup. Upon the conclusion of the season, the league was split into the 3rd-tier Second League and the 4th-tier Transitional League. The top four clubs from each group entered the Second League competition, while the bottom five from each group entered the Transitional League competition.
