| 3 | Beşiktaş | 34 | 17 | 11 | 6 | 53 | 33 | +20 | 62 | Qualification to Champions League third qualifying round |
| 4 | Trabzonspor | 34 | 14 | 11 | 9 | 53 | 41 | +12 | 53 | Qualification to Europa League play-off round |
| 5 | Sivasspor | 34 | 16 | 5 | 13 | 60 | 55 | +5 | 53 | Excluded from European competitions |

| 7 | Karabükspor | 34 | 13 | 11 | 10 | 33 | 34 | −1 | 50 | Qualification to Europa League third qualifying round |

* 1 2 Although Fenerbahçe would have qualified for the Champions League group stage as champions, they were barred from participating in next season's European competitions due to UEFA sanctioning because of the 2011 Turkish football match-fixing scandal, with this season also counting for that ban. As a result, the runners-up of the league (Galatasaray) entered the Champions League group stage instead of the third qualifying round, the third-placed team of the league (Beşiktaş) entered the Champions League third qualifying round instead of the Europa League play-off round, and the fourth-placed team of the league (Trabzonspor) entered the Europa League play-off round instead of the third qualifying round.
* 1 2 Trabzonspor finished ahead of Sivasspor on head-to-head record: Trabzonspor–Sivasspor 0–0, Sivasspor–Trabzonspor 0–4.
* 1 2 Sivasspor were banned from European competitions by UEFA due to match-fixing. As a result, their Europa League spot was passed down the league to the next eligible team (Karabükspor).
* ↑ Kasımpaşa, Konyaspor and Gaziantepspor were not granted a UEFA license by the Turkish Football Federation, and could therefore not qualify for European competitions.
