Notes:

1. Since the winner of 2014 A-League Grand Final (Brisbane Roar) qualified for the 2015 AFC Champions League group stage, the 2nd and 3rd placed teams qualified for the group stage and the qualifying play-off of 2015 AFC Champions League.
2. Wellington Phoenix cannot qualify for the AFC Champions League as they are not recognised as an AFC club.
