The 2024–25 Ekstraklasa (also known as PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa due to sponsorship reasons)[6] is the 99th season of the Polish Football Championship, the 91st season of the highest-tier domestic division in the Polish football league system since its establishment in 1927 and the 17th season of the Ekstraklasa under its current title. The league is operated by the Ekstraklasa S.A.[7]
Jagiellonia Białystok are the defending champions.[8]
The season started on 19 July 2024 with a match between defending champions Jagiellonia Białystok vs. Puszcza Niepołomice and will conclude on 24 May 2025.
The regular season is played as a round-robin tournament. A total of 18 teams participate, 15 of which competed in the league campaign during the previous season, while the remaining three are promoted from the I liga. Each team will play a total of 34 matches, half at home and half away. It is the eighth Ekstraklasa season to use VAR.
A total of 18 teams will participate in the 2024–25 edition of the Ekstraklasa.
The first team to be relegated in the 2023–24 season was ŁKS Łódź, after a home loss to Śląsk Wrocław on 4 May 2024, ending their one-year stay in Ekstraklasa. The second relegated team was Ruch Chorzów on 12 May 2024, when Puszcza Niepołomice defeated Warta Poznań; much like ŁKS, they returned to the second tier after just one year in the top-flight. The last team to be demoted was Warta Poznań, whose fate was sealed after losing to Jagiellonia Białystok on the last matchday, ending their four-year stay.
The first team that won promotion from 2023–24 I liga was Lechia Gdańsk after a win over Wisła Kraków on 11 May 2024, returning to the top flight after a year of absence. The second promoted team was GKS Katowice, taking the 2nd spot in the table away from Arka Gdynia by defeating them in the last round of the regular season; they returned to the Ekstraklasa after a nineteen-year absence. The third and final team to earn promotion was Motor Lublin, who won the play-off final against Arka on 2 June 2024; Motor entered the top flight after thirty-two years of absence.
