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. 1 2 Since winners of the 2014–15 Coppa Italia, Juventus, qualified 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 highest placed team that has obtained an UEFA license and not already qualified for European competition.
  2. Genoa did not obtain a UEFA licence. Therefore, even if they earn the right to play in European competitions based on league position, they will not be able to participate.[3] Genoa appealed the decision, but the appeal was denied.[4]
