Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Number of goals scored
Notes:

1. Monaco were deducted 2 points due to poor fan behavior in a match last season. However this was overturned on 13 August 2013.
2. Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the Europa League third qualifying round by winning the 2013–14 Coupe de la Ligue. However, since they already qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spots awarded to the cup winners were passed down the league.
