- The 2015–16 season was the first for the Belgian Super League after the Belgian and Dutch associations scrapped the BeNe League, a joint top-level league that operated from 2012–13 through 2014–15. Standard also has 15 championships in the Belgian Women's First Division, which was the country's top level before the creation of the BeNe League and now occupies the second level of Belgium's women's football pyramid. In addition, Standard was the top-placing Belgian team in all three seasons of the BeNe League, giving them three more national championships.
- Standard's last championship in Belgium's top level came in 2011–12, the final season before the creation of the BeNe League.
- In women's football, the Republic of Ireland transitioned from an autumn-spring season spanning two calendar years to a spring-autumn season contained within a single calendar year, a format long used by the country's men's leagues. To that effect, an abbreviated 2016 season was held in autumn.
- Includes only Eredivisie titles. Twente was the top-placing Dutch team in all three seasons of the BeNe League.
