X Factor is a Polish television music competition to find new singing talent. The fourth series began airing on TVN on 1 March 2014 and ended on 31 May 2014.Kuba Wojewódzki, Tatiana Okupnik and Czesław Mozil returned as judges. Ewa Farna joined the judging panel as the fourth judge.Patricia Kazadi presents the show.

This series saw a number of changes to the format, most notably the possibility of auditioning for bands with not all members singing and the increase in the number of categories from three to four, resulting from the division of the 16-24s category into separate male and female categories.

The winner of the series was Artem Furman, who received a recording contract with Sony Music, PLN 100,000, and a car. Marta Bijan, the runner-up of the competition, was given a special prize funded by MTV Poland, who will produce her debut music video. Anna Tacikowska took the third place.

After the end of the third series, media speculated about changes in the judging panel for the possible next series. Show's director Wojciech Iwański spoke about possible changes to the format, including extending the panel.

On 14 November 2013 it was announced that the judging panel would be extended as the three judges from the previous series, including Kuba Wojewódzki, Tatiana Okupnik and Czesław Mozil, would be joined by a fourth judge. Singers Ewa Farna, Sylwia Grzeszczak, Ewelina Lisowska, Monika Brodka, Katarzyna Nosowska and Margaret were rumoured to join the panel. Later that day, Ewa Farna was confirmed by TVN as the new judge.
