Notes:
  1. The home matches of both Afghan Chaman and Baloch Nushki against Pakistan Army, Khan Research Laboratories, Pakistan Navy, Pakistan Airforce and WAPDA were all moved from Balochistan to Karachi, after the service teams refused to play in Chaman and Nushki citing security reasons; in protest against this decision Afghan and Baloch refused to honour these nominal home matches and were awarded five 0-3 losses each.
  2. National Bank were awarded three points and three goals following their protest that Pakistan Airforce had fielded an illegal player against them in the Premier Football League match that was held at the PAF Complex in Islamabad on August 2. Pakistan Airforce won the original tie 2-0.
