Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Less matches awarded against; 3) Goal difference; 4) Goals scored; 5) Matches won; 6) Away matches won; 7) Head-to-head points; 8) Head-to-head goal difference; 9) Head-to-head goals scored.^[1]
(X) Assured of at least Europa League, but may still qualify for Champions League.
Notes:

1. Since both finalists of the 2015–16 Austrian Cup (Admira Wacker Mödling and Austria Wien) are currently in top four, the fourth-placed team currently qualifies for at least Europa League first qualifying round. This because if one of the top three teams would win the cup, the spot in first qualifying round would be given to the fourth-placed team. The winners of the cup will qualify for Europa League third qualifying round.
