Notes:
  1. Legia Warsaw qualified for the Europa League second qualifying round by winning the 2015–16 Polish Cup. However, since they already qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spot awarded to the cup winners was passed down the league.
  2. Lechia Gdańsk were punished with a deduction of one point during regular season for failing with licensing requirements.[6] On 8 April 2016 the punishment was suspended by Polish Court of Arbitration for Sport.[7]On 11 April 2016 an appeal against the original decision was withdrawn by the club.[8]
  3. Ruch Chorzów were punished with a deduction of one point during regular season for failing with licensing requirements.[6]

Notes

  1. The match was abandoned in the 52nd minute with a 2–1 lead for Legia Warsaw after a Legia Warsaw player was hit in the head by an object thrown from the crowd. On 4 August 2015, UEFA awarded Legia Warsaw with a 3–0 win against Kukësi[13][14] Kukësi were given a €70,000 fine and ordered to play their next home match behind closed doors.[15]
  2. The match was played at the Qemal Stafa Stadium in Tirana, instead of Kukësi regular stadium, the Zeqir Ymeri Stadium, in Kukës.
  3. The match was played at the Valeriy Lobanovskyi Dynamo Stadium in Kyiv, instead of Zorya Luhansk regular stadium, the Avanhard Stadium, in Luhansk, due to the war conditions in Eastern Ukraine.
