The Ekstraklasa (sponsor name: PKO Ekstraklasa ) is the highest Polish football league , in which 16 clubs compete for the Polish championship .

Today's Ekstraklasa was founded in 1927 and was held from 1928 to 2005 under the umbrella of the Polish Football Association (PZPN). The league sponsor from 2004 to 2005 was the Polish mobile operator Idea , which was later renamed Orange , after which the Polish football league was also called Orange Ekstraklasa from September 2005 to May 2008 . Since 2005, the newly founded Ekstraklasa SA has been responsible for the league operations.

founding

The first league games were played in Poland as early as 1920, but the first season could not be ended due to the Polish-Soviet war . Until 1927 the champion was determined in a tournament in which the winners of the respective district leagues took part. Since this system met with resistance, especially from the Lwów clubs, they, together with other clubs, launched the first independent football league on March 1, 1927, in which the championship was held independently of the Polish Football Association . On December 18, 1927, the association gave in and recognized the new league system. The only notable club that remained in the association's structures at the time was KS Cracovia , which, however, also joined the new football league in 1928.

The founding members of the Polish Football League were:

Game mode

Ekstraklasa logo from 2011 to 2013

16 teams compete against each other in the regular round in the round two. There are three points for a win, one point for a draw and no points for a loss. After the regular season, the league is divided: The eight best-placed teams reach the championship round, the other eight clubs play against relegation. Teams that have qualified for the championship round cannot fall behind 8th place. On the other hand, the best team in the relegation round cannot finish playing time higher than in 9th place in the table. A single round is played in each of the finals, so that by the end of the season each club has played 37 games.

On February 21, 2020, the Polish Football Association PZPN announced that the game mode will be changed for the 2021/2022 season. In the future, the number of participating teams is to be increased from 16 to 18 and a total of 34 match days will be played. The previous championship and relegation rounds will be dispensed with.

1 In 1951 Wisła Krakau was champions in the league, but the association had already decided before the season that the championship title this time should go to the cup winners, which was Ruch Chorzów.
2Legia Warsaw won the championship in 1993, but the last two games of the season (Wisła Krakow - Legia Warsaw 0: 6, ŁKS Łódź - Olimpia Posen 7: 1) seemed so suspicious due to the unexpectedly high victories that the Polish Football Association decided to play both games to cancel and give the title to Lech Posen. In addition, the teams involved were each deducted 3 points in the following season. The court later ruled that all of the allegations were baseless. To this day, no one has asked to return the title to Legia Warsaw.
