Notes:
  1. ^ Shakhtar Donetsk qualified for the Europa League group stage by winning the 2015–16 Ukrainian Cup. However, since they already qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spot awarded to the cup winners was passed down the league.

  3. ^ a b On 22 April 2016, the FFU Committee announced that Metalist Kharkiv and Hoverla Uzhhorod would not be allowed to participate in the professional competitions because of their debts to their players as well as Volyn Lutsk due to the fact that they had not even applied for a license for the following season.[2][3] On 16 May 2016 the FFU Appeal Committee adopted decision to leave in force the decision of the FFU Football Clubs Attestation Committee of 22 April 2016 and refuse in issuing attestation for the next season for Hoverla Uzhhorod and Metalist Kharkiv by declining their appeals.[4]
  4. ^ Volyn Lutsk were deducted a total of eighteen points. Twelve points were deducted initially by FIFA for non-payment of wages owed to former players (Issa Ndoye and Dušan Savić).[5] An additional six points were deducted by the Football Federation of Ukraine due to the club not complying with FIFA directives.[6] On 30 May 2016 some Ukrainian media announced that Volyn was issued the attestation for the next season without financial guarantees.[7][8] Later same day a FFU representative confirmed that Volyn managed to provide financial guarantees and made all required pre pays on time.[9]
  5. ^ Hoverla Uzhhorod had nine points deducted due to not complying with decisions of the FFU Control and Disciplinary Committee (CDC).[10]
  6. ^ On 7 October 2015 FC Metalurh Zaporizhia petitioned to the Premier Liha to withdraw the club from the competition's participation due to the lack of financing.[11] On 24 November 2015 Metalurh Zaporizhia informed the Premier Liha about decision of a deliberate assembly of the Metalurh Zaporizhia members in regards to liquidation of the club. Metalurh Zaporizhia were expelled from the competition after the winter break. Technical victories will be awarded to their opponents for the rest of season.[12] In late April, it was announced that the team had not received a license for next season.[2][3] On 2 March 2016 the Premier Liha cancelled the 17th round game for Metalurh Zaporizhia due to the fact that there are only four players were registered for the second half and only five more are allowed to be registered outside of a transfer window. Also the club failed to inform the league and the visiting team about place and time of the upcoming game.[11]
