The league was created in the 2000–01 season after a new administrative division of Poland was introduced.

Until the end of the 2007–08 season,[2] IV liga was the fourth level of league system, but this was changed with the formation of the Ekstraklasa as the top level league in Poland.

Initially divided into North and South groups, the format was changed in 2018 to hold competition in a single-group system.

The clubs from Greater Poland Voivodeship compete in this group.

The bottom teams are relegated to the Greater Poland groups of V liga.
