(C) Champions; (Q) Qualified for the phase indicated
Notes:
  1. ^ Kasuka qualified for the 2021 AFC Cup play-off round as they were granted an AFC license in December 2020 and that the 2020 Brunei Super League was cancelled, so AFC selected the team with an AFC license that finished the previous season the highest.[2][3] Ultimately, the ASEAN Zone which included Kasuka was cancelled.[4]
  2. ^ Indera qualified for the 2020 AFC Cup play-off round as they were the only team which had an AFC Cup license at the start of the 2020 AFC Cup.[5]
