If England finishes as one of the two associations with the highest UEFA coefficient points, fifth place will qualify for the Champions League and the other qualifying spots will move down one position.
  2. ^ The winners of the 2025–26 EFL Cup will qualify for Conference League play-off round. As both finalists, Arsenal and Manchester City, are currently placed fifth or above, the Conference League spot will be passed to the highest-placed team that does not qualify for European competition, unless the cup winners drop out of the top five.
