The 1931–32 Panhellenic Championship was the fourth season of the highest football league of Greece. Aris won their 2nd championship. AEK Athens, Olympiacos and PAOK qualified for the relegation play-offs for the Athenian, Piraeus' and Macedonian Association, respectively.^[1] AEK and Olympiacos prevailed in the play-off matches and remained in the national division. PAOK did not take part in the play-off matches against Megas Alexandros, which were scheduled for 18 and 22 September 1932,^[2] protesting against the decision of the HFF,^[3]^[4] which was issued on July 22, 1932, while PAOK had ended his league games, canceling his 3–2 win over Iraklis on 5 June 1932,^[5] following the objection of Iraklis against the referee that kept only 1 minute of stoppage time for to the club's supporters storming the pitch and the police intervention^[6] to restore order. The match was scheduled to be repeated at the neutral AEK Stadium^[7] in Athens on September 11.^[8] PAOK did not appear in the match and Iraklis was declared the winner without a match by the decision of the HFF,^[9] overtaking PAOK in the standings. PAOK was then appointed by the HFF to give double qualifying matches with the then champion of Macedonia Megas Alexandros, however it did not show up again in either of the two matches, as a result of which it lost both games without a match. Thus, PAOK were relegated to the regional championship of Macedonia for the first time in its history.

It was held as a national division, in which 8 teams from the 3 founding Associations of the HFF, participated and resulted as follows:

Athenian Championship: The first 3 teams of the 1930–31 ranking.
Piraeus' Championship: The first 2 teams of the 1930–31 ranking.
Macedonian Championship: The first 3 teams of the 1930–31 ranking.

These teams did not participate in the regional championships and their stay in the national division was judged by a play-off round. According to the regulations of the time, whoever finished in a lower position than the other teams of the same Association had to play a two-legged round against the winner of the corresponding regional championship to decide who will qualify for the 1932–33 Panhellenic Championship.

The point system was: Win: 2 points - Draw: 1 point - Loss: 0 points.
