The competition entered in recess for a winter break which started after the completion of Round 17 on 11 November 2018 and resumed on 31 March 2019.[2] The season competitions were scheduled to be completed on 1 June 2019[2] (later ending on 25 May 2019 due to reduction of participants) culminating with a two legged play-off for promotion held between the two second place from both groups and the 13th and 14th placed teams from the 2018–19 Ukrainian First League on 29 May and 2 June 2019.[2]
The PFL composition of the league was approved at the PFL Conference on 27 June 2017,[3] yet the final composition with the competition regulations will be approved later by the FFU Executive Committee.
The competition is conducted in a triple round robin format.[1] The PFL reinstated direct promotion and relegation between the Second League and the Ukrainian Amateur Football Championship.[4] Some other administrative changes will be introduced for the season in Second League, such as names on jerseys, the PFL emblem, others.[5] In addition, the FFU approved a list of stadiums for each league.[6]
Each winner of group earns a direct promotion, while each runner will contest additional promotion with 13th/14th places of the First League. In case of the Ukrainian Premier League expansion for the next season, winners and second placed teams will get direct promotion, while in play-off will participate third placed teams.
One team from each group with the worst record will be relegated. Those two teams will be swapped with four teams from the Ukrainian Amateur Football Championship.[7]

Notes:
- ^(1) Chaika although located in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka in Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion outside the city limits of Kyiv began the competition playing in Lyutizh, Vyshhorod Raion since their usual home ground, Kozak-Arena was not in a prepared state.[29] From Round 9 the club moved their home matches to Makariv due to the heat affecting players playing on the artificial surface at Dinaz Stadium.[30]
- ^(2) Cherkashchyna-Akademiya play their home matches in the Zorya Stadium, located in Bilozirya in Cherkasy Raion near the city of Cherkasy.
- ^(3) Polissya Zhytomyr continue to play their home games in Novohrad-Volynskyi due to the construction of both Central Stadium and Spartak Stadium[31] Following the winter break the club moved its home games to the Kyiv's suburb Shchaslyve.
- ^(4) Due to the unavailability of Avanhard Stadium, Veres Rivne play in Mlyniv.[32]

Legend: Blue = home team win; Yellow = draw; Red = away team win.
Notes:
Legend: Blue = home team win; Yellow = draw; Red = away team win.
Notes:
- Due to fan behaviour of FC Cherkaskyi Dnipro in the previous season, Cherkashchyna-Akademiya plays their first three home matches at an empty stadium.[29]
- Veres was awarded a technical loss by the FFU CDC in their Round 16 match against Chaika as the team used six substitutions instead of permitted five. The match originally ended in a 1–1 draw.[64]
