4. ^ In 1925–26: 1st in EPSM Championship after winning play-off match against Iraklis FC, 4-1.
5. ^ In 1934-35: The National Championship not held because the Greece national team was in preparation for the 5th Balkan Cup, and, also, because the political situation was unstable.
6. ^ In 1940–41: The 1940–41 regional EPSM championship never finished, and the national one wasn't held because of World War II.
7. ^ During 1941-45 the regional EPSM championship, along with the national one, was not held because of World War II.
8. ^ In 1948–49: Panathinaikos-Aris awarded 2–0 due to crowd violence. Also, Aris had 1 point deducted.

M. ^ Macedonian Football Clubs Association Championship, which was formally organized in 1924, was the top tier competition for soccer teams in the Prefecture of Thessaloniki until 1959 with its winners (and sometimes lower placed teams) participating in the Panhellenic Championship, which was held from 1927–28 till 1958–59. However, in 1928–29, 1934–35, 1940–41 to 1944–45, 1949–50 and 1951–52 the Panhellenic Championship was not held, and in 1959–60 it was replaced with Alpha Ethniki. In 1924–25 the Macedonian Football Clubs Association Championship was not held, in 1931–32 the regional championship had 2nd level status and Aris participated in the combined regions' national championship, in 1932–33 the Northern Greece Championship was held instead of the Macedonian Football Clubs Association Championship, whereas in 1933–34 both championships were held and the Northern Greece Championship's winner (Iraklis) participated in the Panhellenic Championship play-off against the Southern Greece Championship's winner. In 1934–35 only the Northern Greece Championship was held instead of the Macedonian Football Clubs Association Championship, while in 1935–36 only a combined regions national championship was held. In 1936-37 and 1937-38 only the Macedonian Football Clubs Association Championship, and not the Northern Greece Championship, was held, while in 1938-39 and 1939-40 both championships were held and the Northern Greece Championship's winner participated in the Panhellenic Championship play-off against the Southern Greece Championship's winner. Also, in 1939-40 the Northern Greece Championship was played in two groups, with its winner being determined in play-off matches between the two group winners. The 1940–41 regional championship never finished, and the national one wasn't held, while, during 1941–45 the regional championship, along with the national one, was not held because of World War II. After 1939-1940, the Northern Greece Championship was not held again. Instead, a Northern inter-regional Championship was established in 1953-54 (for regions other than Thessaloniki, Athens and Piraeus), being the predecessor of Beta Ethniki, and securing National Championship places for regional teams since then.
From 1959 to 2014, Aris had been competing in the top-tier Alpha Ethniki of the Greek National Football Championship, with the interval of two seasons (1997–98 and 2005–06) that the club competed in the second-tier Beta Ethniki. During this period, the club had once been tied for the 1st place, in the 1979–80 season, ultimately losing the play-off match for 1st place to Olympiakos and had also reached the top 5 places many times. [2] [3] [4] However, in 2014 it was relegated to third-tier Gamma Ethniki due to financial and management reasons. After spending two seasons in third-tier Gamma Ethniki and another two in second-tier Football League (Greece), Aris will compete in first-tier Super League Greece in season 2018–19.
