This group was established in 2016, when, after the 2015–16 season, as a result of the reorganization of the III liga in Poland, group VII was merged with group VIII.^[2]

Responsible for the games taking place in this group are: the Lublin Football Association based in Lublin, the Lesser Poland Football Association based in Kraków, the Subcarpathian Football Association based in Rzeszów and the Holy Cross Football Association based in Kielce. The group consists of 18 teams from the following voivodeships: Lublin, Lesser Poland, Subcarpathian and Holy Cross.^[3][4]

In the 2020–21 season, due to the COVID-19 pandemic unexpected complications (no relegation to IV liga and one relegated team from II liga after the 2019–20 season), the group was temporarily expanded to 21 teams.^[5]

Notes

1. Due to the fact that the competition was not completed, promotion to the II liga was granted to Motor Lublin, who, equal on points with Hutnik Kraków, held a more favorable goal difference. Then, by the decision of the PZPN Emergency Committee, the number of promoted teams from the group was increased to two to include Hutnik.
