The 2013–14 I liga was the sixth season of the Polish I liga under its current title, and the sixty-sixth season of the second highest division in the Polish football league system. The season began on 27 July 2013 and concluded on 7 June 2014.[2]
According to the competition rules, all clubs are required to field at least one youth player (born on 1993 or later and Polish or trained in Poland) in every game (except for the times when the only youth player on the roster is sent off or unable to continue playing).[3]
The following teams have changed division since the 2012-13 season.
Promoted from II liga East
Promoted from II liga West
Relegated from Ekstraklasa
Relegated to II liga West
Demoted
Promoted to Ekstraklasa
Of the 18 participating teams, 13 remain following the 2012–13 I liga. They are joined by four teams promoted from the 2012–13 II liga and one relegated from the 2012–13 Ekstraklasa.
On 8 June 2013, Puszcza and Wisła Płock were promoted to the I liga from the eastern group of II liga after Pelikan Łowicz's 2–1 loss to Stal Rzeszów. A day later, Energetyk ROW and Chojniczanka joined them as champions and runners-up of II liga West following Bytovia's 4–0 loss to MKS Kluczbork.
On 28 May 2013 the PZPN announced their final decision that highly indebted Polonia Warsaw will be demoted from Ekstraklasa. Had they improved their financial situation, Polonia would be eligible to play in 2013–14 I liga. However, the club again failed to meet the Polish FA's financial criteria and will play in the North Mazovia IV liga. As a result, the 15th placed teams of the 2012–13 Ekstraklasa (Ruch Chorzów) and the 2012–13 I liga (Okocimski KS Brzesko) avoided relegation.
On 2 June 2013, GKS Bełchatów were relegated from the Ekstraklasa despite winning the final game against Piast Gliwice, as the other relegation threatened team Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała defeated Widzew Łódź 2–1.
