'''Liga Bet''' ({{langx|he|ליגה ב'||League B}}) is the fourth tier of the [[Israeli football league system]]. It is divided into four regional divisions.

==History==
League football started in [[Israel]] in 1949–50, a year after the [[Israeli Declaration of Independence]]. However, the financial and security crises gripping the young nation caused the 1950–51 season to be abandoned before it had started. When football resumed in 1951–52, the new top division went by the name of Liga Alef with Liga Bet as the second division. The 1952–53 season was also not played, and Liga Bet resumed in 1953–54.

In the 1955–56 season, [[Liga Leumit]] came into existence as the new top division, with Liga Alef becoming the second division and Liga Bet demoted to the third division. Restructuring in 1976 saw the creation of [[Liga Artzit]] as a new second tier, and the second demotion of Liga Bet, as it became the fourth division. Further restructuring to create the [[Israeli Premier League]] in 1999 saw Liga Bet demoted again, this time to the fifth tier. At the end of the [[2008–09 Liga Bet|2008–09]] season, Liga Artzit was scrapped as the Premier League and Liga Leumit were expanded to 16 clubs each, resulting in Liga Bet returning to the fourth tier.

==Structure==
Since the 1959-60 season, Liga Bet is split into four regional divisions, North A, North B, South A and South B. Because Israel's northern half is much more densely populated than the [[Negev|desert south]], the divisions are not spread equally and the southernmost division, South B, covers about two-thirds of the country. Although this inequality is partially offset by the fact that there are so few clubs south of [[Beersheba]] ([[Arad, Israel|Arad]], [[Dimona]], [[Yeroham]], [[Mitzpe Ramon]] and [[Eilat]] are the only sizable towns south of the city), the northern clubs tend to be clustered in the [[Galilee]] region, making travel to away matches much less of a chore.

Each division has sixteen clubs, who play each other home and away to make a 30-game season. The club finishing top of each regional division is promoted to [[Liga Alef]], whilst the second to fifth-placed clubs in each division play-off at the end of the season, until the play-off winner of North A faces the play-off winner of North B, and the play-off winner of South A faces the play-off winner of South B. The two winners advance to a decisive match against the two third-bottom clubs in Liga Alef, North and South, for a place in that division. The club finishing bottom of each regional division is relegated to [[Liga Gimel]], the fifth and bottom tier, whilst another club from each division is relegated after relegation play-offs, involving the clubs that finished twelfth to fifteenth in each division. Coming into Liga Bet are the two clubs are relegated from each of the regional Liga Alef divisions (and one or two more, had they failed the play-off) and the eight clubs promoted from Liga Gimel. The clubs are then pooled and assigned to the most geographically appropriate of the four divisions.
