First Division. 16 teams, the last 2 relegated. One team – the last in the table – played 29 instead of 30 games for some reason.
It was Jagiellonia (Bialystok, which finished with 13 points and relegated.
Widzew (Lodz) – 15th with 17 points. Nothing was left from the strong and successful team in the first half of the 1980s and now the club was relegated to Second Division.
Zaglebie (Sosnowiec) – 14th with 20 points.
Motor (Lublin) – 13th with 21 points.
Ruch (Chorzow) – unusually weak season: 12th with 25 points.
Stal (Mielec) – 11th with 26 points.
Slask (Wroclaw) – 10th with 27 points.
Wisla (Krakow) – 9th with 31 points.

Olimpia (Poznan) – 5th with 36 points.
Zawisza (Bydgoscz) – 4th with 37 points.
GKS (Katowice) – 3rd with 40 points. They were first at half-season, but unable to preserve their lead in the spring. Lost by little…
Zaglebie (Lubin) – 2nd with 40 points. Very strong season for the club, but managed only silver medals and that on more wins or more scored goals than Katowice, for both teams ended with +14 goal-difference.
Lech (Poznan) clinched the title with 42 points. Tough victory. 8 ‘normal’ wins, 5 wins with 3 or more goals, bringing extra points, 12 ties, 4 ‘normal’ losses and 1 loss by 3 or more goals, deducting a point. Curiously, they were the only team of the top 5 which had deducted point. Scoring record: 45-25. Best scorers this season, defensively they were 5th behind Zaglebie, Katowice, Legia, and Olimpia. Lech won its 3rd title.
