Notes:
  1. Maccabi Hatzor merged with Hapoel Hatzor to form Maccabi Bnei Hatzor. as the league schedule was made prior to the merger and both Hapoel Hatzor and Maccabi Hatzor were drawn separately,[1] the spare place in the division was filled by promoting Hapoel Bnei Rameh from Liga Gimel.
  2. Hapoel Kfar Kama withdrew from the league at the end of the season, despite being drawn for the league schedule of the following season.[2] as a result, Maccabi Ahi Nazareth were reprieved from relegation.
