(C) Champion.
Notes:
- First place qualifies for the 2009 AFC Champions League Group stage.
Winning the 2008 A-League Grand Final earns qualification for the 2009 AFC Champions League Group stage, unless the Grand Final winners are also first place, in which case the Grand Final runner up qualifies. - Wellington Phoenix cannot qualify for the AFC Champions League as they are not recognised as an AFC club.
