* ↑ Since CSKA Moscow won the 2005–06 Russian Cup, and winner of the Russian Cup should advance to the first round of UEFA Cup, the spot was awarded to 3rd-positioned team, because CSKA Moscow already qualified for UEFA Champions League. As a result, 4th-positioned team received a spot in the second qualifying round of UEFA Cup, and 5th-positioned team received a spot in the second round of UEFA Intertoto Cup
* ↑ Terek had 6 points deducted for failing to pay transfer fee in time.
