List of Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv F.C. seasons

This is a list of seasons played by Bnei Yehuda Football Club in Israeli and European football, from 1940 (when the club joined the Israeli football league system) 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 cup competitions, such as the Lilian Cup and the Israel Super Cup are not included due to them being considered of less importance than the State Cup and the Toto Cup.

The club has won the League Championship once, the State Cup twice and the Toto Cup twice, as well as winning the second division six times.

History

Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv was formed in January 1936 in the Hatikva Quarter of Tel Aviv. The club was promoted to the top division for the first time in 1959, and as of 2016 played 50 seasons in the top division.
