SPORT & SEASON
Warsaw is Legia's town — a big, loud club in a stadium you can walk to from Nowy Świat — with the national stadium across the river and two of Poland's largest road races on the calendar.

Legia Warszawa
Poland's most-followed club, playing Ekstraklasa football at Stadion Wojska Polskiego, Łazienkowska 3, about 15 minutes' walk from Nowy Świat. Tickets go through bilety.legia.com, so sort them before you arrive. The club also runs stadium tours that take in the dressing room, tunnel and VIP zone, plus a club museum.
PGE Narodowy
The national stadium at al. Księcia J. Poniatowskiego 1 on the Praga bank — the largest in Poland, and where the national team plays its autumn 2026 fixtures. It also takes speedway, Red Bull Drift Masters and stadium concerts. Guided tours run on several routes, with English-speaking guides bookable through wycieczki.pgenarodowy.pl.
Warsaw Marathon
The 48th edition runs on Sunday 27 September 2026, starting at 09:00 on Świętokrzyska beside the Palace of Culture. Capped at 14,000 runners on a flat World Athletics-certified course with 83 m of climbing and a 6h30 cut-off; late entry was €120 from 15 September. Expect road closures across the centre that morning.
Warsaw Half Marathon
The spring race, and by the organisers' account the largest street race in Poland, carrying a World Athletics Elite Label. The next edition is Sunday 4 April 2027 — moved to the first Sunday of April to avoid Palm Sunday and Easter — with a 5 km run alongside it. Registration opens later in 2026.
Polonia Warszawa
The oldest football club in the city, founded in 1911, one division below Legia in the Betclic 1 Liga for 2026-27 and playing at Konwiktorska 6 on the northern edge of the Old Town. Cheaper, smaller and far easier to get into than a Legia match if you simply want a Polish football afternoon; tickets at bilety.kspolonia.pl.
