The 1939–40 Panhellenic Championship was the 11th season of the highest football league of Greece and the last before the WW2 took place. It was carried out with a system similar to that of the previous season in which 14 teams participated again, 8 from the Central and 6 from North Greece, which were divided into groups. As in the previous year, in order to complete the championship, since it took a total of 30 matchdays, the teams that qualified for the national championship did not compete with each other again but transferred the mutual results of the local championships.
The teams of the Central Greece formed the South group and resulted as follows:
Athenian Championship: The first 5 teams of the ranking.
Piraeus' Championship: The first 3 teams of the ranking.
The teams of the Νorth Group were initially divided into two subgroups. The teams of the Thessaloniki formed the North subgroup A and resulted as follows:
Macedonian Championship: The first 3 teams of the ranking.
The teams of Serres, East Macedonia and Thrace formed the North subgroup B and resulted as follows:
Serres' Championship: The winner.
Thracian Championship: The winner.
East Macedonian Championship: The winner.
The two winners competed in double games to become the champion of the Northe group. The champions of South and North, AEK Athens and PAOK, competed in a 2-legged final for the title. AEK was crowned champion for their 2nd Championship (2 consecutive), with Kleanthis Maropoulos being the protagonist as the last year. AEK had a great team then and throughout the year they had only one defeat in the South group against Olympiacos. Both in the local championship of Athens, and in both of the finals, AEK achieved only victories. The point system was: Win: 3 points - Draw: 2 points - Loss: 1 point.

^ abcOlympiacos Athens competed instead of Atromitos
^At the beginning of the championship, Atromitos were deleted from the Athens' Federation and was replaced by the 3rd place holder of second tier, Olympiacos Athens. In fact, they played 3 games which resulted in 3 defeats. Eventually, the Athens' Federation took back the deletion of Atromitos and reinstated him in the championship, so the games of Olympiacos Athens were counted to Atromitos and the club took part in the second tier of the Athenian championship.
