Notes:
  1. Since the winner of 2013 A-League Grand Final (Central Coast Mariners) qualified for the 2014 AFC Champions League group stage, the 3rd placed team qualified for the qualifying play-off of 2014 AFC Champions League.
  2. Wellington Phoenix cannot qualify for the AFC Champions League as they are not recognised as an AFC club.
