Notes:
- Esteghlal could not pay its debts on time and did not obtain an AFC license. Therefore, even if they earn the right to play in Asian competitions based on league position, they will not be able to participate. According to FFIRI special rules for ACL slots, the next best-ranked team of 2022–23 Persian Gulf Pro League will replace Esteghlal in ACL.
