- Notes
- ^ The result (3–0) was awarded in favor of Al-Nassr by the disciplinary committee due to Al-Shabab fielding an ineligible player, Al Bandari Mobarak, who had received a red card with her former club Al Yamamah in the previous season. The actual result of the match ended (2–0) in favor of Al-Shabab.[7]
