The 1967–68 season saw Lechia in the third division since the first year of their creation. The season in the III Liga almost saw Lechia promoted at the first time of asking. The team finished second, just behind Arkonia Szczecin, however only the winning team from each of the four groups in the third division were awarded promotion. That season was filled with derbies for Lechia, with their first-ever Gdańsk Derby game against Polonia Gdańsk, as well as facing Bałtyk Gdynia and Flota Gdynia.
