Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Head-to-head points; 3) Head-to-head goal difference; 4) Goal difference; 5) Goals scored; 6) Fair-play points; 7) Play-off.
(T) Qualified, but not yet to the particular phase indicated.
Notes:

1. Since both Barcelona and Sevilla have reached the final of the 2015–16 Copa del Rey, Sevilla currently qualify for at least Europa League third qualifying round as seventh-placed team in the league. This is because if the winner (in this case Barcelona) already qualified for European competition based on their league position the spot awarded to the Copa del Rey winner would be passed to the sixth-placed team and the spot for the sixth-placed team (Europa League third qualifying round) would be passed to the seventh-placed team.
