I've done 4 meetings between Friday and Sunday several times. If you plan it right, you could see at least 6 meetings. Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and easily two on a Sunday .

Sportowefakty details about the league, translation here: Starting in the 2026 season, the U24 Ekstraliga will adopt a four-legged system. This means that all matches will feature one home team and three visiting teams. Each team will host three such matches. There will be a total of 12 rounds. There will be no semifinals or finals. Three points are awarded for a win in each of the four matches. Subsequent places receive two, one, and zero points, respectively. In the event of a tie in points, the final standings will be determined by the number of heat points, followed by first, second, third, and fourth places in all rounds. Teams will consist of four riders under 24 years of age and one optional reserve. There will be no limits on the number of foreign or domestic riders. However, there will still be a maximum average points limit of 1.4 (or a different conversion rate in the case of average points from lower-level competitions – editor's note). The competition will consist of 18 races. Two riders from each team will line up in each heat. Ultimately, two riders will complete five heats, while the remaining two will complete four. Regular reserves will be allowed at the touch of the heat, but tactical reserves, rider substitutions, or grid swaps will not be permitted. Each four-event heat can be completed after 12 heats. The U24 Ekstraliga season begins on May 5th. The first hosts will be Perłowa Przystań Stal Gorzów and AVO KS Toruń . In the Lubusz Voivodeship, Polcopper Agromix Unia Leszno , Falubaz Zielona Góra , and U24 Beckhoff Sparta Wrocław will also compete. In the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship, Grudziądzkie Mebelki GKM Grudziądz , Impakt Włókniarz Częstochowa , and Motor Lublin will appear .

Prize money per round for 2026. Quite a reduction from 2025...:

Line up for Saturday:

If you go to their website here: https://www.orzel.lodz.pl/ and click where it says IMME tickets, then click the three white lines near the top right, then IMME tickets you'll see a bit where you can either login or sign up. That's where you need to create your account. Once you've done that, when the SGP tickets come live, you'll only need to login quickly and be ready the moment they go on sale. Keep me updated if you need anything more please.

Bauhaus Ligan fixtures for 2026:

Getting tickets from the Lodz website is not difficult, I've bought them several times. What is difficult to know is how quickly they'll disappear. I'd suggest with a capacity of only 10,400 and with it being a new (and potentially great) venue, they'll sell out the day they go on sale, perhaps even very quickly, so as you've already booked flights, you should make sure you are (if not already) registered on the club website and ready to go the moment the tickets go on sale. Have your passport details ready for all tickets you plan to buy.

To answer your question directly, the first two fixtures for each round I've listed as Friday, and the second two fixtures for each round I've listed as Sunday. I've taken these from the official Ekstraliga announcement. The last couple of years, Ekstraliga announced the fixtures in the same way and closer to each round they then confirmed which meetings were Friday and which were Sunday. Last year, in one round, they swapped two fixtures around, so that one they'd listed as probably Friday became a Sunday fixture and one which was listed as probably Sunday became a Friday fixture. So, it may be they're going to do this again this year, but as R+R said above, the final confirmation will come earlier this year, they've said it'll be at least 6 weeks before the relevant round. Obviously as we find out, if there are any changes I'd list them immediately.

As part of my earlier Teams and Fixtures blog, which I posted about last month, I've now created a week-by-week fixtures list for all mainland European leagues and other relevant fixtures such as SGP, SEC, IMP and others. Obviously we don't have all fixtures as yet, so it's a work in progress, but once the remaining leagues publish their fixtures, I'll be adding them in as well. Everything is colour coded to make it easier to follow. Hope it helps for anyone planning any trips this coming season.

Calendar here:

They have stated that days will be announced 6 weeks prior to the match. Oops, sorry, I didn't see that R+R had already answered. As to tickets for Wrocław league meetings, make sure you are registered on the wts.pl website and then also follow the club FB page. They announce there exactly when tickets will be on sale for each meeting. Be ready at the moment they go on sale and you'll get them. But be aware that they have 7500 season ticket holders and most of them will be in the main stand, so there won't ever be many tickets available there
