1977 West Bank Premier League was the first season of the West Bank Premier League [1] and the 4th completion of the Palestinian Top Tier. The Champion was Silwan.

West Bank Premier League is one of the two top divisions of the Palestinian Football Federation (PFA). The other is the Gaza Strip Premier League. Palestinian clubs have a rich history stretching back to the early 1930s, but most teams folded due to the political turmoil, and ensuing reduction of the geographical area of the country. Over the years, the format of the league has taken many different shapes. The league has been uninterrupted since 2008.
