Notes:
  1. If the league champions cannot qualify for the AFC Champions League group stage, they will enter the AFC Cup group stage.
  2. Since league champions Al-Riffa were also Bahraini King's Cup winners, the league runners-up qualified for the AFC Cup group stage.
  3. If the league champions qualify for the AFC Champions League group stage, the standby team will enter the AFC Cup group stage.
