The Polish lower leagues FM27 file by bigpole opens up the Polish pyramid down to the fourth tier. It makes II Liga and III Liga playable, with their promotion and relegation playoffs rebuilt. So you can start a career at a small club and climb one division at a time. Also, the author says he tested it over ten seasons and everything works.
What changes in the Polish leagues
This is an editor file that bigpole remakes every year. In this version, II Liga, the third tier, becomes playable and gets both promotion and relegation playoffs. Then III Liga, the fourth tier, is playable too, with promotion playoffs. Finally, IV Liga is added but stays non-playable: it only exists to handle promotion and relegation from III Liga.
There are a few smaller details as well. For example, the rewards linked to Under-21 players were redone with the new money rules. In other words, every team gets paid, depending on where it finishes. The II Liga playoffs follow the I Liga model. So a three or four-day break between the last round and the first semi-final is normal.

Regional promotion and relegation
III Liga is split into four regional groups. Because of that, promotion and relegation between III Liga and IV Liga may not be 100% accurate. When there is no room in the right division, a team goes to the nearest one. So a club from the north never ends up in a southern group.

Who it is for
It suits anyone who likes to start at the bottom and build a club over many seasons. It also works if you want to take a fallen Polish giant back up the ladder. If you want more playable countries in the same save, add the Novas Ligas Activadas pack by Ibarra. For Polish women’s football, the Women’s Leagues Megapack includes three Polish tiers. Finally, to view and edit the players in your save, have a look at FMPT Chief Analyst.

Things to watch
Like every editor file, it only works in new careers. In other words, it will not change a save you already have going. Also, the file stops at III Liga: the author has said he will not build the regional leagues below it.
In the comments, some players thought the Śląsk and Legia reserve sides were missing from II Liga. According to others, they are there, but you cannot pick them as a manager. Questions about II Liga club badges and about women’s leagues were still unanswered. Otherwise, early testers say everything works. To uninstall, just delete the file from the editor data folder.
