Format
During the licensing process, work was underway to change the formula of the competition. Finally, the division into two groups was dropped and after the main round the teams will be divided into two groups: the first eight will create the quarter-final pairs, while the remaining six teams will play the match-revenge round for the Ekstraklasa.
