Górnik TV distributes match highlights, press conferences, and behind-the-scenes content via YouTube.

Górnik Zabrze S.A. generates revenue across five primary streams: matchday ticket sales, merchandise sales, Ekstraklasa and European competition broadcasting rights, sponsorship contracts (main sponsor STS, technical sponsor Reebok, automotive partner Toyota Czajka, official brewery Browar Racibórz, plus 10+ additional commercial partners), and player transfer fees. The company is organized as a Polish joint-stock company (Spółka Akcyjna) listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange with an active shareholder structure. Customer segments include football enthusiasts and fans (primary), commercial sponsors and partners (primary), and youth players in the academy pipeline (secondary). In 2026, the club qualified for the second round of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds against Fenerbahçe SK.
