Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) head-to-head points; 3) head-to-head goal difference; 4) goal difference; 5) number of goals scored; 6) draw. (Head-to-head record is applied for clubs with the same amount of points only once all matches between said clubs have been played.)

Notes:
  1. Since both finalists of the 2014–15 Coppa Italia, Juventus and Lazio, currently qualify for European competition based on league position, the spot awarded to the cup winner (Europa League group stage) is passed to the fifth placed team and the spot originally meant for the fifth placed team (Europa League third qualifying round) is given to the sixth-placed team.
