The 1933–34 season was the 7th season of competitive football in the British Mandate for Palestine under the Eretz Israel Football Association and the 2nd under the Arab Palestine Sports Federation.
Due to orders of the High Commissioner for Palestine, the second edition of the Palestine League was played without participation of British teams, including the reigning champions, British Police. Hapoel Tel Aviv won the title after completing a perfect season of 14 victories in 14 matches.
10 clubs entered the competition, which ended, as the previous competition, with a Tel Aviv derby. This time Hapoel defeated Maccabi 3–2 and won the cup.
The EIFA entered a team to the 1934 World Cup, and was placed in Group 12 of the qualification rounds, with Egypt and Turkey. Following Turkey's withdrawal, the national team faced Egypt in a two-legged tie. Prior to the first match the national team played three practice matches, the first against a Royal Air Force Palestine XI, which was won 7–2, the second against a British military team from Gaza, which was won 3–1, and the second against a Royal Air Force Middle East XI, which was won 8–1.
