The Polish Super Cup (Polish: Superpuchar Polski, pronounced [supɛrˈpuxar ˈpɔlskʲi]) is an annually held match between the champions of the Ekstraklasa and the Polish Cup winners or, if the Ekstraklasa champions also win the Polish Cup, the Cup's runners-up. As of 2023, the Polish Super Cup has been played 33 times. The most successful club is Lech Poznań, who won 6 times.[1] The most common participant has been Legia Warsaw, as they have played fourteen final games and lost their eight following finals since 2012. Unlike the Polish Cup, there is no extra time played in the competition, therefore in case of a draw after regular time, the match goes straight into a penalty shoot-out.
