Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored
(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (E) = Eliminated; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round.
Only applicable when the season is not finished:
(Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament indicated; (TQ) = Qualified to tournament, but not yet to the particular phase indicated; (RQ) = Qualified to the relegation tournament indicated; (DQ) = Disqualified from tournament.

  • Note: Kabuscorp were disqualified after forfeiting their matches in round 28, 29 and 30. Forfeiting three matches resulted in all their games being annulled and the team consequently disqualified, in spite of appeals. Also on account of that, ASA finished 3rd and Saneamento Rangol, 4th.[2]
