2018–19 Polish Cup

The 2018–19 Polish Cup was the sixty-fifth season of the annual Polish football knockout tournament. It began on 7 August 2018 with the first matches of the preliminary round and ended on 2 May 2019 with the final at PGE Narodowy.[1] Winners of the competition would qualify for the qualifying round of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, however eventual winners Lechia Gdańsk had qualified for Europe through their league performance.

Format changes

Before the start of the 2018–19 season, the PZPN confirmed the reforming plan of the Polish Cup, introducing several changes:[1]

  • draws would be carried out separately before the start of each round,
  • the rule where two of the best teams of the previous season could not be in the same draw before the semi-finals was abandoned,
  • introduction of the four teams representing Poland in European competitions in the draw of the round of 64,
  • the second leg matches in the quarter-finals and semi-finals had been canceled (the winner of the pair in each round met after a single match),
  • Ekstraklasa teams started the game one round earlier than before (in the round of 64 instead of the round of 32),
  • teams from places 13 to 18 in the I liga and teams from places 1 to 10 in the II liga as well as cup winners at the provincial level start the game one round later than before (in the round of 64 final instead of the preliminary round),
  • the host of the match between teams from the same league level was randomly selected as the first in a given pair (previously an additional draw of the host of the first or only match), except for the round of 64 for teams playing in European competitions.
