Before the start of the 2018–19 season, the PZPN confirmed the reforming plan of the Polish Cup, introducing several changes:^[1]

• draws would be carried out separately before the start of each round,
• the rule where two of the best teams of the previous season could not be in the same draw before the semi-finals was abandoned,
• introduction of the four teams representing Poland in European competitions in the draw of the round of 64,
• the second leg matches in the quarter-finals and semi-finals had been canceled (the winner of the pair in each round met after a single match),
• Ekstraklasa teams started the game one round earlier than before (in the round of 64 instead of the round of 32),
• teams from places 13 to 18 in the I liga and teams from places 1 to 10 in the II liga as well as cup winners at the provincial level start the game one round later than before (in the round of 64 final instead of the preliminary round),
• the host of the match between teams from the same league level was randomly selected as the first in a given pair (previously an additional draw of the host of the first or only match), except for the round of 64 for teams playing in European competitions.

The PZPN Board of Directors determined the size of the prizes at its meeting on May 23, 2018.^[2]

Participating in this round were 8 teams from the 2017–18 II liga from positions 11 to 18. Teams from places 11 to 14 faced teams from places 15 to 18 in the following pairs: 11–18, 12–17, 13–16, 14–15.^[1] The matches were played on 7 and 8 August 2018.
