Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) Head-to-head points; 5) Head-to-head goal difference; 6) Fairplay ranking.[4]
(T) Qualified, but not yet to the particular phase indicated; (X) Assured of at least UEFA Europa League, but may still qualify for UEFA Champions League.
Notes:
  1. Since the winners of 2015–16 Coupe de la Ligue, Paris Saint-Germain, qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spot awarded to the League Cup winner (Europa League third qualifying round) is passed to the next best team in the table not already qualified for European competitions (in this case, the fifth-placed team).
