2026 Polish speedway league season updates
Overview
The 2026 PGE Ekstraliga season has concluded with PRES Grupa Deweloperska Toruń claiming the championship. Following a 55:35 victory in the first leg at the MotoArena—a match marked by heavy rain and a two-hour delay—Toruń established a 20-point advantage. Key contributors in that match included Mikkel Michelsen, who scored 14 points, and junior Antoni Kawczyński with 5 points. The event saw a record attendance of 17,175 spectators.
In the second leg held in Wrocław, Betard Sparta Wrocław was unable to overcome the deficit, losing the match 44:46. Despite a strong roster featuring Artiom Łaguta and Daniel Bewley, Sparta Wrocław failed to secure the title. Three-time Polish champion Zbigniew Lech noted that while the club is financially stable, it has struggled to win decisive matches, having won only one final since 2015.
In the bronze medal series, Fogo Unia Leszno defeated Orlen Oil Motor Lublin 46:44 in the first match, a contest impacted by an injury to Motor Lublin’s Mateusz Cierniak.
In the lower divisions, Abramczyk Polonia Bydgoszcz secured promotion to the PGE Ekstraliga after an undefeated season, finishing with 16 wins and two draws. The club has already confirmed roster additions for the 2027 season, including Max Fricke and Ryan Douglas.
