Notes:

↑ Braga qualified for the Europa League group stage by winning the 2015–16 Taça de Portugal.
↑ Since the winners of the 2015–16 Taça de Portugal, Braga, qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spot awarded to the fourth-placed team (Europa League third qualifying round) is passed to the sixth-placed team, Rio Ave, the highest placed team not already qualified for any European competition.
