The 2024 PFL open tournament is a friendly competition which was introduced by the Professional Football League of Ukraine in the 2024–25 season. It is the third of a kind competition to which teams were invited on voluntary basis for extra playtime. The last time similar tournament was carried out in the spring of 2023.
On 28 October 2024 with finishing of the Round 12 in the Second League, the third-tier competitions took a winter break until the mid of April of 2025. Next day on 29 October 2024, the PFL administration announced that it will conduct a short tournament in November from 2nd to 30th of November. The tournament was initiated by the Second League clubs. Beside 8 clubs that volunteered to participate, they were also joined by an amateur side from Cherkasy (see Teams section). About a week later on 9 November 2024, the competition was joined by one more team bringing the total number of participants to 10.
The tournament is set to have a group stage and a small play-off stage. The 9 teams were split in two groups by geographic principle where they competed in single round-robin tournament. The winner of each group is expected to contest the tournament title, while runners up would determine the third-place winner. Each team is expected to play around 3-5 games.
