Notes
- From 1956–57 until 1994–95, two points were awarded for a win, and one for a draw. From the 1995–96 season onwards, three points have been awarded for a win.
- Only league goals are counted.
- Due to the outbreak of World War II coinciding with Wydad’s first season, the League Morocco Football Association (LMFA) decided, in order to reduce team travel, to change the league system by abolishing the two-division format and having all teams play in regional groups. The top-placed teams in each group qualified for a knockout playoff stage. The league was played under this system for six seasons: 1939–40, 1940–41, and from 1942–43 to 1945–46.
- After the Moroccan Football League (LMFA) decided to restore the championship to its normal format (the two-division system) in the 1941–42 season, it relied on the results of the 1938–39 season (the last season played under the normal format) to organize the teams into the two divisions. Since Wydad had not been among the participating teams at that time, it competed in the Promotion Division (second tier), like any new club that had to start in the lowest division.
- As in the previous season, the 1942–43 league season began under its normal format (the two-division system). However, after four rounds had been played, and due to the Allied-occupation of Morocco in November 1942, the LMFA once again decided to restart the league using the regional group system, as had been the case in the 1939–40 and 1940–41 seasons. The league continued under this system for four consecutive seasons until 1945–46.
