The Ukrainian Third League, also known as the Transitional League, was part of the Ukrainian professional football clubs competition.

The League as the fourth tier was created after the reorganization once the first championship was completed in 1993. Officially, the Transitional League was created in 1992 with the best clubs being promoted to the imaginary tier under the name of the Second League. In practice after the reorganization of the Second League in 1992, the Third League was created under the name of the Transitional League. The league was created from the pool of clubs of the third tier that did not perform well in the previous season as well as the best new amateur clubs that had won their respective regional competitions.

Throughout its history the League yielded at least four promotions each year. That in turn fueled the rise of the Ukrainian new football giants -- FC Arsenal Kyiv
