Notes

^
The game between Hapoel Gilboa Galil and KB Peja was cancelled after the away team from Kosovo failed to obtain travel visas due to on-going strike of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Due to the lack of alternative dates in the calendar, the game would not be rescheduled, so the League decided to award a win to Hapoel and a loss to Peja.^[1]
