Israel's Ligat ha'Al features 14 clubs who play a regular season before splitting into championship and relegation playoffs. Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa lead the historical count, with Hapoel Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem completing the traditional elite, and Israeli clubs compete in UEFA competition despite the country's AFC expulsion in the 1970s. The league has grown in European competitiveness, with clubs reaching the Champions League and Europa League group stages, and it recruits actively in South America, Africa and Eastern Europe. Domestic security conditions periodically affect scheduling and venues, and Israeli clubs have at times hosted European fixtures abroad. Playing style is technical and attacking, with high goal totals, and the league exports players to Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
No Ligat Al fixtures are scheduled in the next seven days. The 2026/2027 season runs from 22 August 2026 to 6 March 2027.
