This is a list of seasons played by Beitar Jerusalem Football Club in Israeli and European football, from 1945–46 (when the club first competed in the cup) 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.

Beitar Jerusalem was established in 1936, and initially played in the Jerusalem area only, due to travel difficulties. In 1946 the club first played in a national tournament, and joined Liga Bet the following season, although the club withdrew shortly after the season started.[1] The club was first promoted to the top division in 1954, spending one season at the top division before immediately dropping back to the second division. The club returned to the top division in 1968, and it played at the top division ever since, with the exception of two seasons. The club won its first major trophy in 1976, winning the State Cup, and its first championship in 1987. In total, the club won 6 league championships, 7 State Cups and 2 Toto Cups
