1. Due to the Gaza war, the 2023–24 West Bank Premier League was cancelled by the Palestinian Football Association. The teams from Palestine were determined by the results of the 2022–23 West Bank Premier League. Jabal Al-Mukaber, the 2022–23 West Bank Premier League champions, failed to obtain an AFC license. Instead, the runners-up Hilal Al-Quds participated in the AFC Challenge League group stage.
