List of Israeli football champions

[2] The Palestine League's last edition was played during the 1947–48 season, and was abandoned as well due to the Independence War.

In all, Maccabi Tel Aviv hold the record for most championships, with 25 titles; they are also the only Israeli club to have never been relegated from the top division.

Hapoel Petah Tikva then finished in second place three times in a row, before starting a record run of five successive championship victories.

Hapoel Kfar Saba, Maccabi Haifa, Beitar Jerusalem and Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv all won their first titles during the 1980s.

After Bnei Yehuda's victory in 1989–90, Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem dominated the remainder of the top-flight Liga Leumit era, winning every title except the last; the 1998–99 championship was won by first-time victors Hapoel Haifa.

[21] Having won seven titles in the league's 20 seasons, the most successful club during this period is Maccabi Haifa; during the same period Maccabi Tel Aviv have added six to their total, Hapoel Be'er Sheva added three championships, while Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Tel Aviv have won two championships each.

Although Hapoel Tel Aviv have only finished top of the league twice since 1999—in 1999–2000 and ten years later in 2009–10—they have won the double on both occasions.

Titles won by club (%) Six teams have completed the double by winning the Israeli State Cup during the same season.
