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.
