Squads edit

Under-21 and doubles edit

The section existed since the introduction of Doubles Championship for the Soviet Football Championship Pervaya Gruppa (precursor of the Soviet Top League) in 1946.

After dissolution of the Soviet Union and liquidation of the Soviet Top League, in 1992 Dynamo joined Ukrainian Top League. The competitions for junior squads were discontinued, instead there was created a reserve team which entered competition in lower leagues.

In 2004 competitions among youth squads were resumed later transforming into competitions among under-21 squads. In 2021 these competitions were discontinued once again.

Under-19 edit

In 2012 the Ukrainian Premier League created competition for under-19 squads which ran parallel with the championship of first squads and the championship of under-21 squads, three simultaneous competitions.
