- ^ a b due to the September 2024 Israeli attacks against Lebanon the Home Front Command was limited the number of attendance in Tel Aviv
- ^ a b c d e f g Due to the Israel–Hamas war, Maccabi Tel Aviv play their remaining home matches at a neutral venue.[23]
- ^ Due to a strain on Israel–Turkey relations related to the Israel–Hamas war, Turkish authorities requested the Beşiktaş v Maccabi Tel Aviv match be played outside of Turkey at a neutral venue. Therefore, Beşiktaş will play this home match at Nagyerdei Stadion, Debrecen, Hungary, instead of their regular stadium, Beşiktaş Stadium, Istanbul. Following a request from local authorities, it will also be played behind closed doors.[25]
