List of Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. seasons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of seasons played by Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club in Israeli and European football, from 1928 (when the club joined the newly founded EIFA) to the most recent completed season. It details the club's achievements in major competitions, and the top scorers for each season. Top scorers in bold were also the top scorers in the Israeli league that season. Records of minor competitions such as the Lilian Cup are not included due to them being considered of less importance than the State Cup and the Toto Cup.
