WE KNOW THE OUTLINE OF THE EKSTRAKLASA SCHEDULE FOR THE 2026/2027 SEASON
The Ekstraklasa Logistics Department has published the fixtures for the 2026/27 PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa season. The new season will kick off on Friday, July 24, 2026, and is scheduled to conclude on May 22, 2027. All matchdays will be played on weekends.
In the first round, Polish champions Lech Poznań will kick off the season against Cracovia, Pogoń Szczecin will host Legia Warszawa, and Wisła Kraków will play GKS Katowice. The exact dates for the 1st round of the 2026/27 season will be published by the Competition Logistics Department after the draw for the first qualifying rounds of European cups. Nevertheless, due to the participation of four clubs in the Champions League and Conference League qualifiers, we already know that Kolejorz (Lech Poznań) and Górnik Zabrze will play on Saturday, while Raków and GKS Katowice will inaugurate the season on Sunday.
The scheduling took into account comments submitted by clubs, regarding, among other things, pitch replacements, the organization of large mass events, and concerts held at stadiums and in their immediate vicinity.
- This year's schedule preparation involved additional organizational and logistical challenges. One of them was coordinating the calendar of the three Kraków clubs playing in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa, who will play matches at two stadiums located very close to each other. Ultimately, the schedule was constructed in such a way that Wieczysta plays matches on dates that do not clash with Wisła's matches. The August term will be an exception, when both clubs in the 4th and 5th rounds will play away due to a Sanah concert, and consequently - in two rounds in spring, both Wisła and Wieczysta - during one series of games - will play home matches at the stadium on Reymonta Street. For logistical and safety reasons, there will be no situation where two clubs from Krakow play home matches on the same day - said Marcin Stefański, COO of Ekstraklasa SA.
– An additional challenge was also including the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in the calendar. Although the tournament will be played on only one Ekstraklasa stadium, the fact that the tournament organization will take place, among others, in Upper Silesia and Łódź will also affect the schedules of other clubs from the region, as well as Widzew Łódź – adds Marcin Stefański. GKS Katowice will play three consecutive away matches during the Women's World Cup (including one close match in Gliwice).
In the new season, as in previous years, clubs participating in UEFA competitions will be able to postpone two league matches: one during the Q1–Q3 qualifying rounds and one in the period between the play-off round and the league phase. The comments of clubs participating in UEFA competitions have been taken into account in accordance with previous arrangements.
For the 5th round between the play-off phase, matches of teams participating in European cups have been scheduled: Raków Częstochowa will face Górnik Zabrze, and Lech Poznań will host Jagiellonia Białystok. In case of a change of date, the matches will be played on September 1-2, right after the 6th round, during the 1st round of the Polish Cup. GKS Katowice will play Wisła Płock in the 5th series of matches, and any postponed match for Katowice will take place at a later reserve date.
The schedule also takes into account comments related to infrastructure. Wisła Płock will play two away matches in the period preceding and following the September international break. During this time, the pitch at their stadium will be replaced.
A unique event will be the 27th series of matches, scheduled for April 3–4, 2027. This will mark the 100th anniversary of the first league match in the history of Polish football. As part of this round, the match Wisła Kraków - Legia Warszawa will be played. This will be a meeting of the only clubs currently playing in the PKO BP Ekstraklasa that also competed in the inaugural league season in 1927.
The matches of the Polish Cup finalists, whose final will take place on Sunday, May 2, 2027, have been scheduled between the 32nd and 33rd league rounds.
– In total, we took into account 116 comments when creating the schedule. I would like to thank all the clubs for their professional cooperation. We managed to create a calendar that reconciles the interests of teams, stadium operators, and is consulted with the relevant services ensuring safety. We are convinced that, like the previous season, the 2026/27 competition will provide fans with a lot of emotions and will enjoy equally great interest – concluded Marcin Stefański.
The schedule was developed in cooperation with GotSport, a company that specializes in league scheduling processes. It is the most modern solution for planning matches for professional sports leagues using artificial intelligence and a team of mathematicians. GotSport cooperates with over 70 professional leagues and federations, including the Scottish, Greek, Saudi, Swiss, Australian leagues, Brazilian leagues, and several other leagues from the Concacaf and CONMEBOL zones, as well as rugby, basketball, and volleyball leagues from all over the world.
