The 2007–08 Ekstraklasa (also known as Orange Ekstraklasa due to its sponsorship by Orange Polska) started in July 2007 and ended in mid-May 2008. It was run by the Ekstraklasa SA.
The Polish Champion will qualify for the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round. The runner-up and winner of the Polish Cup will qualify for the UEFA Cup first qualifying round. The third placed team will qualify for the second round of the UEFA Intertoto Cup. The bottom two teams will be relegated to Poland League Two for 2008-09 season, with the 3rd bottom team playing off against the 4th-placed team in Poland League Two to decide the final positions for next season (the winner will be either promoted or stay in the top league).
