Notes:
  1. ^ The winner of the 2024–25 Serbian Cup (Red Star Belgrade) qualifies for the Europa League first qualifying round, so the second place team (Partizan) takes the Europa League berth and the fourth place team gets a Conference League berth.
  2. ^ OFK Beograd qualified for the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League but failed to obtain a UEFA license. As a result, the berth was given to the fifth place Radnički 1923.[20]
