- ↑ Geylang United qualified for the 2010 AFC Cup as 2009 Singapore Cup winners.
- ↑ Following a FIFA decision on 29 September 2009, Brunei DPMM would no longer be permitted to play in the S.League.[3] They were unable to complete the league after FIFA denied an appeal from the FAS for Brunei DPMM to finish the 2009 season.[4] Their results were expunged.
