Notes
- In 1951, the Polish Football Association decided to give the Champion of Poland title to the winner of the Polish Cup, in order to increase the importance of the re-activated cup competition. Unia Chorzów was 6th in the league, but won the cup, beating 2-0 Gwardia Kraków in the final game.[17] However, in the league, Gwardia Kraków was first, Górnik Radlin second and CWKS Warsaw third.[1]
- Lech Poznań won the championship after two final day games (Wisła Kraków vs Legia Warsaw 0–6; ŁKS Łódź vs Olimpia Poznań 7–1) had been cancelled due to the never proven allegations of "unsportsmanlike conduct during the game".[18]
