Legend: Blue = home team win; Yellow = draw; Red = away team win.
Notes:
  1. The Al-Diwaniya–Al-Talaba match originally ended 1–1 but was changed to a 3–0 win for Al-Talaba due to Al-Diwaniya fielding the ineligible player Omar Jabbar.
  2. The Al-Najaf–Al-Diwaniya match was awarded as a 3–0 win to Al-Najaf as Al-Diwaniya were not allowed to play the match due to having not paid their outstanding financial payments to players as required by the league's licensing criteria.
  3. The Naft Maysan–Zakho match was awarded as a 3–0 win to Naft Maysan, as Zakho did not turn up for the game.
  4. The Newroz–Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya match was not played due to the entry of Newroz fans into the stadium which violated COVID-19 restrictions, and was later awarded as a 3–0 win to Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.
  5. The Zakho–Samarra match was awarded as a 3–0 win to Zakho, as Samarra did not turn up for the game.
