Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Head-to-head points; 3) Head-to-head goal difference; 4) Total goal difference; 5) Total goals scored; 6) Play-off (only for deciding champion, relegation and AFC competitions participation).[23]
(C) Champion.
Notes:
  1. Since winners of the 2016 King Cup, Al-Ahli, qualified for AFC Champions League group stage based on their league position, the spot awarded to the cup winner (2017 AFC Champions League group stage) is passed to the third-placed team and the spot for the third-placed team (AFC Champions League play-off round) is passed to the fourth-placed team.
  2. Al-Ittihad did not obtain an AFC license. Therefore, even if they earn the right to play in Asian competitions based on league position, they will not be able to participate.[22]

Notes

  1. ^
    Al-Hilal played their quarter-final home match behind closed doors due to crowd trouble.[24]
  2. ^
    On 25 January 2016, the AFC announced changes to the schedule regarding teams from Iran and Saudi Arabia to be played on matchdays 5 and 6 (19–20 April and 3–4 May) due to the deteriorating Iran–Saudi Arabia relations, also the venues will be decided after an evaluation deadline of 15 March 2016. If there has not been a return to normal relations between the two countries by then, all matches between teams from Iran and Saudi Arabia will be played at neutral venues.[25]
  3. ^
    On 31 March 2016, the AFC announced that matches between teams from Iran and Saudi Arabia will be played on neutral venues.[26]
