The 2026/27 STS Puchar Polski tournament, described as the ‘Cup of a Thousand Teams’, commenced with its opening rounds in late August and early September 2026. The tournament features nearly 60 clubs from various league levels competing for a chance to reach the final at the National Stadium. Initial fixtures included a scheduled matchup between Stal Mielec and Górnik Łęczna on September 2 in Łęczna. Stal Mielec coach Damian Skiba intended to use the match as a testing ground, potentially rotating his squad to include players such as Piotr Chrapusta, Paweł Tupaj, Jakub Małek, and Emil Ziobroń. Górnik Łęczna, competing in the Betclic 2 Liga, entered the match following significant roster changes due to relegation. As the tournament progressed, several results were recorded, including a 1-0 away victory for Ekstraklasa side Radomiak Radom against Korona Kielce II. In a notable upset, Odra Opole advanced to the second round by defeating Wisła Kraków 2-1 in the 1/32 final. The match turned after Marko Bozić received a red card in the 31st minute, allowing Odra to capitalize on subsequent goalkeeper errors. The first round has been characterized by significant upsets involving top-tier Ekstraklasa clubs. Legia Warszawa was eliminated following a 0-3 defeat against Motor Lublin, a match that drew criticism from coach Marek Papszun regarding his team’s lack of intensity and adaptation to the league’s pace, as well as criticism from experts regarding refereeing decisions made by official Piotr Lasyk. Zagłębie Lubin also exited the competition after falling to Siarka Tarnobrzeg. Other prominent clubs knocked out during this stage include Widzew Łódź and Cracovia Kraków.
