Notes:
  1. ^ Uganda Grain Milling withdrew.[1] Insecurity in the country and subsequent war in 1985 resulted in Masaka being cut off from Kampala. As a result, FUFA suspended all Masaka Union FC's league games for the 1985 season, only allowing them to return to topflight football in 1986.
  2. ^ 1 point deducted?
