Notes:

1. Since winners of the 2014–15 DFB-Pokal, Wolfsburg, qualified for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League by league position, Schalke 04 entered Europa League group stage and Borussia Dortmund as seventh-placed team entered Europa League third qualifying round.

Positions by round

This table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve the chronological evolution, any postponed matches are not included to the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16. The final standings after matchday 34 in this table may not reflect what the clubs actually qualified for if a Bundesliga club wins the DFB-Pokal. If this occurs, that club will qualify for the UEFA Europa League group stage, unless they are in the top four of the table, as they would qualify for the UEFA Champions League. In that case, the team in 6th would qualify for the UEFA Europa League group stage, and the team in 7th would qualify for the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round. The same would occur if that club finished in 5th, as they already qualified for the UEFA Europa League group stage.
