Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored
(C) Champions
Notes:
- ^ a b Because F.C. Copenhagen, winners of 2008–09 Danish Cup, also won the league, Odense BK as league runners-up earned a spot in the third while cup runners-up AaB qualified for the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.
- ^ Denmark was ranked second in the UEFA Fair Play Ranking[9] and thereby earned an additional Europa League spot, with the winners of national Fair Play competition entering in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League. That spot was granted to Randers FC because they were the best team in the national Fair Play competition which has not already qualified for Europe.[10]
