Polish Ekstraklasa 2026/27 schedule announced, Lech Poznań top favourite

The 2026/27 season of Poland's top football league, the PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa, will run from 24 July 2026 to 22 May 2027, with a winter break from mid‑December to 29 January 2027. Lech Poznań, the defending champions, are listed by bookmakers as the leading contender, with Legia Warsaw and Widzew Łódź named as the main rivals.

Lech opens the campaign against Cracovia and then travels to face newly promoted Wieczysta Kraków. Key fixtures later in the season include a sixth‑round clash with Widzew Łódź and a twelfth‑round showdown with Legia Warsaw. The schedule also marks the centenary of the league’s first round, featuring a celebratory Wisła Kraków vs Legia Warsaw match in April 2027. For the first time, three clubs from Kraków—Wisła, Cracovia and Wieczysta—will compete in the same top‑flight season.
