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]
