List of Polish football champions

The Polish football champions are the annual winners of Poland's premier annual football competition. The title has been contested since 1920 in varying forms of competition. From 1921 to 1926 the championship was decided in a series of tournaments until the league was formed in 1927. Since then the title was awarded the winners of the highest league in Polish football. In 1951 the title was awarded to the winner of the Polish Cup.[1]

Competitions were organized by the original Polish Football Association, which was part of the Austrian Football Association.

Notes

  1. ^ In 1951, the Polish Football Association decided to give the Champion of Poland title to the winner of the Polish Cup, in order to increase the importance of the re-activated cup competition. Unia Chorzów was 6th in the league, but won the cup, beating 2-0 Gwardia Kraków in the final game.[17] However, in the league, Gwardia Kraków was first, Górnik Radlin second and CWKS Warsaw third.[1]
  2. ^ Lech Poznań won the championship after two final day games (Wisła Kraków vs Legia Warsaw 0–6; ŁKS Łódź vs Olimpia Poznań 7–1) had been cancelled due to the never proven allegations of "unsportsmanlike conduct during the game".[18]
