Maccabi Netanya were the defending champions but could only finish in the 7th place.[1]
Format
[edit]The four clubs playing in the UEFA competitions (Maccabi Haifa, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem) did not take part in the group stage, while the remaining ten clubs were divided into two groups of five, at the end of the group stage each of the group winners will qualify to the semi-finals. Maccabi Haifa and Beitar Jerusalem played in the 2023 Israel Super Cup match for a place in one of the semi-finals (meeting the group winner with the least points accumulated), while Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Maccabi Tel Aviv played for a place in the other semi-final (meeting the group winner with the most points accumulated). All clubs will participate in classification play-offs to determine their final positions.[2]
