The 1938 Liga Bet season was the second tier league of the Palestine League organized by the EIFA.
Six teams played in the South division[1] and eight teams were assigned to the North division.[2] However, as the Arab revolt intensified in fall 1938 and with the High commissioner issuing restrictive orders on travel throughout Palestine,[3] the EIFA created a two-tiered league for the Tel Aviv region, with matches played in the league counting towards the national league.[4] The Tel Aviv League was completed on 14 January 1939[5] and in February 1939 a new league season began, with teams playing in regionalized divisions instead a national league.[6]

- Hapoel Hadera
- Hapoel Kfar Ata
- Hapoel Kiryat Haim
