Rules for classification: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) Head-to-head points; 5) Head-to-head goal difference; 6) Head-to-head goals scored; 7) Fewer disciplinary points.
(C) Champions
Notes:

1. If Kawasaki Frontale or Yokohama F. Marinos wins the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Elite, they will qualify for the subsequent edition as the title holders, while the third-placed team will instead participate in the 2025–26 AFC Champions League Two, and the fourth-placed team will have their qualification spot withdrawn.
2. Since the winners of the 2024 Emperor's Cup, Vissel Kobe, had already qualified for the Champions League Elite via league position, the spot given to the Emperor's Cup was passed to the third-placed team according to the J. League regulations.
