Ultraliga is the 1st level of League of Legends league system in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Georgia and Israel. The league was created in 2018. Originally, the league covered only Poland. In 2022, Ultraliga also covered the countries that have so far competed in the Baltic Masters – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.[1] From the 2023 season, Ultraliga also covers Ukraine, Georgia and Israel.[2] There are 2 seasons in Ultraliga per year.
Starting 2021, at the end of each season, teams receive Year Points. Every two seasons (once every year), two teams with the fewest points are playing in Ultraliga promotion/relegation Tournament to defend their spot in the Ultraliga. If they lose, they are relegated to Ultraliga 2nd Division. Starting 2024, only one team will play in promotion/relegation Tournament.
Ultraliga is a part of ERLs- EMEA Regional Leagues. Therefore, the best teams in the league compete in the EMEA Masters.[3]
