Legend: Blue = home team win; Yellow = draw; Red = away team win.
Notes:

^ The match between Chinezul Timișoara and Crișana Oradea was approved with the victory of the hosts, because the guests did not show up.
^ The match between Gloria Arad and Chinezul Timișoara (on the field 4–2) was approved as lost by both teams, because neither had paid their fees for 1937.
