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
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.
