  1. ^Due to the renovation of the Resovia Stadium in Rzeszów, Resovia will play their home games at Stadion Stal in Rzeszów. Originally they declared to play home matches at the Podkarpackie Centrum Piłki Nożnej in Stalowa Wola.[4][5]
  2. ^ŁKS played its home games in a partially-completed stadium until the April 22 match against Chrobry Głogów, when the remainder of the stadium was officially opened for use.[6]
  3. ^In the first half of the 2021/2022 season Skra played every home match on the opponent's stadium, as the home team, because Municipal Football Stadium Loretańska in Częstochowa didn't meet the license requirements of the I liga. From April 7, 2022, they play their home games at a substitute stadium GIEKSA Arena. Originally they declared to play home matches at the Stadion Ludowy in Sosnowiec.[7]
