The Ekstraklasa Awards are awarded every year to the best footballers of Ekstraklasa at a special event named Ekstraklasa Gala.
Awards for the best player and the biggest discovery of Ekstraklasa season were first introduced in 2010. An award for the best coach was introduced one year later. In 2013, positional awards were given for the first time. The ‘Discovery of the Season’ award was discontinued after 2018 and then replaced with ‘Young Player of the Season’ award.
While award for the best Player of the Season is given on the basis of a vote by footballers playing in Ekstraklasa, the Young Player of the Season is chosen by the sponsor of the league (currently PKO Bank Polski) while positional/ best coach awards winners are chosen by journalists. [1]
An award for the top scorer of Ekstraklasa is awarded on the gala since 2006-07 season. [2]
