(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round; (Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament
a: Since the finalists of the 2021–22 EFL Cup, Chelsea and Liverpool, currently qualify for European competition based on league position, the Europa Conference League berth awarded to the EFL Cup winners will be transferred to the highest-placed Premier League team not already qualified for European competition, the sixth-placed team.
