2019–20 Ekstraklasa
The 2019–20 Ekstraklasa is the 94th season of the Polish Football Championship, the 86th season of the highest tier domestic division in the Polish football league system since its establishment in 1927 and the 12th season of the Ekstraklasa under its current title. The league is operated by the Ekstraklasa SA.
The regular season is played as a round-robin tournament. A total of 16 teams participated, 14 of which competed in the league during the 2018–19 season, while the remaining two were promoted from the 2018-19 I liga. The season started on 19 July 2019 and will conclude on 19 July 2020. After the 20th matchday the league went on a winter break between 23 December 2019 and 8 February 2020. On 13 March 2020, the Ekstraklasa SA suspended the league due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. After consultation with the Polish government, the league resumed behind closed doors without any spectators on 29 May 2020. All matches of 31–37 round have been played with "no more than 25 percent of the number of seats allocated to the public".
Each team plays a total of 30 matches, half at home and half away. After the 30th round, the league will split into two groups: championship round and relegation round. Each team plays 7 more games. Therefore, each team plays a total of 37 matches. The team at the top of the Championship round wins the league title. However, the rules for promotion and relegation from the league have changed: starting from the 2019/20 season, three teams will be relegated from Ekstraklasa to I league, while from the first league to Ekstraklasa two teams will advance directly, while teams from 3-6 places will fight in a play-off where the winner will be awarded with a promotion to Ekstraklasa.
The defending champions are Piast Gliwice, who won their 1st Polish title the previous season. The two clubs promoted were Raków Częstochowa, returning to Ekstraklasa after 21 years, as well as ŁKS Łódź, who make a return to Ekstraklasa after 7 years.
