The 2018–19 Polish Cup is 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 will end on 2 May 2019 with the final at PGE Narodowy.[1] Winners of the competition will qualify for the qualifying tournament of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League.

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 will 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-final, was abandoned,
  • introduction of the four teams representing Poland in the European Cups in the draw of the round of 64,
  • the second leg matches in the quarterfinals and the semifinal have been canceled (the winner of the pair in each round emerges after a single match),
  • Ekstraklasa teams start the game one round earlier than before (in the round of 64 instead of the round of 32),
  • teams from places 13-18 in the I liga and teams from places 1-10 in the II liga and cup winners at the provincial level start the game one round later than before (in the round of 64 final instead of in the preliminary round),
  • the host of the match between teams from the same league level is 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 Cups.
