If correct....

Czstochowa cutting cloth accordingly to pay what they owe this year? :o

Would be better swapping with Bydgoszcz and let them put a better team out..

Gorzow too look seriously under the level needed .

I'm hoping Czestochowa get thrown out of the league and replaced by Bydgoszcz tbh.

Would be embarrassing for all involved if Czestochowa are allowed to compete in the top flight next season with that team.

Looks like all the rumours are correct, Fair to say it's the weakest looking Ekstraliga in years with various riders opting to drop down a league.

Czestochowa's relegation is a 1 Million percent certainty in 2026 and Gorzow are a certainty to compete in the Promotion / Relegation play-off again.

Wroclaw, Lublin and Torun in the plays offs, not which of the other 3 teams will make the last play off spot.

Although it’s potentially the weakest I’d say it has the option to be the most competitive because it’s more evenly spread.

you know why… British speedway is taking over 😉 all this big money coming in 😂 sorry I just woke up from my dream!

Top end clubs more evenly spread granted but for a league that's branded BITW you really shouldn't be seeing team line-ups like the ones Czestochowa and Gorzow are putting out.

British Speedway is declining but Poland is going the exact same way as of late with various clubs hitting financial issues and needing handouts just to take to the track.

Shame because it's the sport in the world, Hopefully the Sport can thrive again in the near future.

Zielona Gora imo, Think it's a side that's got potential to be a big spoiler in 2026, Kubera & Madsen is a strong spearhead and Lebedevs is a rider who gets better with every year imo.

Think Grudziadz have the potential to take a step back in 2026, Did Drabik and MJJ just have freak seasons in 2025 where they both rode above their level? 

Leszno are relying heavily on Parnitskyi imo, Outside of Nazar the team isn't much to shout about imo, It's basically most of the team that got relegated during their last stint in the Ekstraliga.

Leszno, Częstochowa and Stal to be fighting for relegation and Wroclaw vs Torun for the title. Lublin is very much a weakened team and if Vaculik has the season he had at Stal that’s a big problem, could find themselves fighting just to be in the play offs. I know due to the money situation Stal have decided to go young and try to build a team who will be stronger in a few years, their financial plan is a long term loan to pay back 1 million over 10 years, so this young team will be close to the team year in, year out for a few years. To reduce overheads and to be fair, you may find a few more clubs having internal audits and having issues, it was spoken a few years back that the riders financial demands is exceeding the financial profit of some teams. You only have to see that the night Doyle scored 20 points and made near on 200,000 zloty for Częstochowa, it was a bad night, it was away from home in Wroclaw so they didn’t even get any gate money that night!

Out of the top two leagues, Leszno had the biggest crowd on any one off night, bigger than even Torun’s Ekstraliga final attendance. Wroclaw had the best average attendance at 13,675 with an impeccable 100% attendance record all season.

1. TORUN (Rated the team this year after getting rid of the deadweight and they look even stronger in 2026 imo)

2. WROCLAW (Should click straight away as it's basically the same team from 2025, Think they're ahead of Lublin on paper this time around)

3. LUBLIN (Zmarzlik will keep them in the mix, Team needs drastic improvement from Lindgren & Vaculik to compete for the title imo)

4. ZIELONA GORA (Lots of potential to improve imo and they could be a big spoiler in 2026)

5. GRUDZIADZ (Looks good on paper but did Drabik & MJJ just have a freak season?, Will need both riders to carry that form over to 2026)

6. LESZNO (Baffling team bulding by signing most of the 24 relegated side, Heavily reliant on Parnitskyi but lucky 2 clubs have financial issues)

7. GORZOW (Better than Czestochowa in every department but could still go down depending on who finishes 2nd in Ekstraliga 2 in 2026)

8. CZESTOCHOWA (Should be thrown out of the league and replaced by Bydgoszcz imo, Doubt Czestochowa will win a meeting in 2026)
