List of Hapoel Kfar Saba F.C. seasons

This is a list of seasons played by Hapoel Kfar Saba Football Club in Israeli and European football, from 1939–40 (when the club first competed in the league) 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. Records of minor competitions such as the Lilian Cup are not included due to them being considered of less importance than the State Cup and the Toto Cup.

History

Hapoel Kfar Saba was established in 1928 and played friendlies until joining Liga Gimel in the 1939–40 season. The club first qualified for the top division at the end of the 1951–52 season and played in the two top divisions ever since, except for one season in the third division. The club won one championship in 1981–82 and three cups.
