(C) Champions; (P) Promoted; (R) Relegated
Notes:

1. Ilisiakos at the end of the season merged with Egaleo to form Egaleo A.O.
2. Apollon Kalamarias relegated to Delta Ethniki due to unsettled debts.
3. Veria has a three-point detraction for the game against Ilisiakos. The match interrupted at the end of the first half, due to attack from Veria's owner to the referee. The score was 0-0 at that point.^[1]
