This is because İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi Sports Club separated its football section and renamed it İstanbul Başakşehir Football Club before the start of 2014–15 football season. When a team changed its name its name in pages for previous seasons also changed. Therefore all the team names except those appear in weekly game results changed as İstanbul Başakşehir.

Although classification group games should have been accumulated on ranking group data in the league tables, in TFF pages classification group tables are shown as unaccumulated.

Final standings are seen correctly in former source. On the other hand, this source does not supply round-by-round league table. Therefore place after rounds columns are empty. As of 7 June 2015.
