Ekstraklasa
Poland's top flight: competitive, physical and without a single dominant club, with the title changing hands often in recent seasons. It is followed far less closely than Europe's major leagues, which is part of why we cover it.
25 referees have taken charge of Ekstraklasa matches this season or last. Below is each one's record in the Ekstraklasa since 2021: cards and fouls a match against the league average of the same seasons, and over 2.5.
This season (2026/2027) the Ekstraklasa averages 3.97 cards and 25.6 fouls a match.

Sorted by cards a match, those with 20 or more matches in the league first. A referee's record is part referee and part luck: about half of a difference in cards carries over to their next matches, and goals do not follow the referee at all.
