League attendances

†Season in progress.

• All of the released attendance figures for Lechia Gdańsk before the 2011–12 Ekstraklasa season were rounded to the nearest 500.
• The impact of the coronavirus outbreak should be noted for the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons and its impact on attendance figures. The final two games of the regular season had to be played behind closed doors, in games which would usually draw a large attendance (the Tricity derby game against Arka Gdynia was the highest home attendance the two seasons prior). The final three games of the season, each in the championship round, had crowd restrictions due to the easing of lock-down. This has massively impacted the average attendance figures. While in the 2020–21 season fans were only able to attend 3 of the 15 home league games.
