(C) Champions
Notes:
- Since the 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.
- 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
- ^ Al-Hilal played their quarter-final home match behind closed doors due to crowd trouble.[24]
- ^ 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]
- ^ On 31 March 2016, the AFC announced that matches between teams from Iran and Saudi Arabia will be played on neutral venues.[26]
