Notes:

^ Everton were ineligible to participate in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup as Liverpool had already qualified. Under the rules of the cup, only one team per city could participate. Chelsea took their place as the highest-ranked team that hadn't already qualified for a European competition.

^ West Bromwich Albion qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup as the 1967-68 FA Cup winners.
