(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round; (Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament

Notes

• Since both finalists of the 2022–23 FA Cup, Manchester City and Manchester United, qualified for the Champions League as a result of their league positions, the second Europa League group stage berth allocated to England was transferred to the sixth-placed team.
• Since the winners of the 2022–23 EFL Cup, Manchester United, qualified for the Champions League, the Europa Conference League berth awarded to the EFL Cup winners was transferred to the highest-placed Premier League team not already qualified for European competition, the seventh-placed team.
