Jakub Balcerzak summarized the last Saturday before the start of the 2026/2027 league season. He assessed that the slogan "Beat the champion" will motivate the rivals of Michał Winiarski's team, and each of them will approach the matches with full commitment. He cited the match between Trefl and Sordyl as an example and wondered how many weaker teams would manage to play in a similar way. According to Balcerzak, Lublin was in better shape at this stage of preparations than a year earlier. He praised the creativity of Ran and Ogawa as well as the play of the latter, and positively evaluated the start of preparations for Mikołaj Sawicki, whom he considered well physically prepared. The author was pleased with Roberto Piazza's presence in the Polish club, but noted that there is a lot of work ahead for PGE Project Warszawa, as the Italian coach had only started working with the team a few days earlier. He assessed that Romano could help Warsaw achieve a major trophy this season. After the match against Lublana, he pointed out that the average age of Project's players on the court was almost 33 years. He also wrote that Śliwka's injury means at least a month off, and noted that the captain of the Polish national team has played only 31 percent of league matches in almost three years. Balcerzak called Tymoteusz Lenik one of the best Polish middle blockers from the 2005 age group and younger. He believed that Gheorghe Crețu is guiding the player well and predicted that Lenik would make it to the senior national team next season. He pointed to 22-year-old Mateusz Nowak as a possible successor to Bartłomiej Lemański in Bełchatów and as the best player of Skra during the preparation period. He described Szymon Jakubiszak as one of the leading Polish middle blockers and wrote that he should join a club competing for the Polish championship. Regarding the Italian league, Balcerzak praised Basil Dermaux's performance in Milan, where he scored 27 points, including seven aces. He indicated Hryhoriia Khotsevycha as a potential discovery of the new season of LegaVolley, and described Pardo Matia as an increasingly important player in Modena's offense. He added that his collaboration with Tizi-Oualou was going very well. Assessing the teams from Japan, Balcerzak stated that there is a lot of work ahead for Suntory Sunbirds Osaka and that the team no longer commands the same respect as in previous years. He positively evaluated the new Nagoya and the performance of Norbert Huber, while considering Osaka Bluteon the best team currently in the country, with a significant advantage over rivals.

Karol Michalak wrote that in his opinion Legia did not appreciate the struggle of the Wisła community against systemic discrimination, which it had been conducting for the past few years. He claimed that the actions of the clubs were being verified, mainly by Lysypokrakowska, and false information was being corrected. He added that Legia was not much different in this respect from clubs in lower leagues. He reminded that recently it was close to relegation and assessed that organizationally it presented first-league aspirations. As examples, Michalak mentioned situations concerning Wisła fans. He wrote that Motor Lublin justified its decision with safety concerns, although in the justification it described the behaviors of Górnik Łęczna. In the case of Górnik Łęczna, the club referred, according to him, to a decision by the mayor, who allegedly denied having made it and stated that he did not see a problem. Michalak also stated that GKS Tychy explained its decision by renovation and mourning for the death of the pope, but after a delegate's visit, they were ordered to play the match. Chrobry was said to have referred to a police opinion, which — as the author reported — declared to ensure safety. Kotwica Kołobrzeg also indicated a police opinion, but it supposedly communicated that the club did not ask for it and issued none. Miedź did not consult the police for an opinion, and the police were said to have concluded that Wisła fans should be let in. Regarding Stal Stalowa Wola, Michalak wrote that the club referred to the position of the police, which denied having issued a recommendation. Stal Rzeszów allegedly spoke of a police opinion, although it did not evaluate the ban. Wisła Płock justified its decision with safety concerns, but the police reportedly conveyed that the club did not ask for their opinion. Śląsk referred to talks with the police, which publicly denied the information provided. The author also reminded that GKS Tychy justified another decision with a breakdown after a downpour, even though in the meantime they played a home match. Pogoń Siedlce pointed to a turnstile malfunction, and Wisła was said to have proposed a self-repair; later the reason was changed to safety concerns. The police were said to have assured that they would guarantee safety. Arka referred to renovations coinciding with the match against Wisła, despite a 75-day break between competitions. Stal Mielec justified its decision with renovation, and the city reportedly assured it would be completed before the match, after which the decision was changed. Michalak summarized that Wisła fans were collectively denied entry to matches 31 times and wrote that Legia found itself in this group. #Wisła #Legia #dyskryminacja (translated)

The user ɐllǝnuɐɯı wrote that the crew he referred to as the "ginger gang" sent an air threat alert to the Lubusz Voivodeship instead of the Lublin Voivodeship.

Jakub Balcerzak reported that Ran Takahashi, during a press conference quoted by "Kurier Lubelski", said he feels good and safe in Poland, and considers the city beautiful. He added that he gets along well with Tomohiro on the field and communicates easily with him in Japanese. Takahashi said he wants to learn Polish, but first intends to improve his English. For now, he knows two phrases in Polish: "thank you" and "good morning." He mentioned his goals of winning the Polish championship and triumphing in the Champions League, adding that he wanted to help the club and couldn't wait to play. He also assessed that the level in Poland differed from that in Japan, and the move represented another step and an opportunity to gain experience. He also mentioned that two years earlier, playing for an Italian club, he came to Warsaw for a Challenge Cup match. He reported that the Polish fans cheered the entire time, which left a great impression on him. #TAURONLiga #Polska #Takahashi #piłka_nożna (translated)
