If added to the [[phylogenetic analysis]] of Carrano (2012), it is recovered as an indeterminate [[Tetanurae|tetanuran]].

In the 2016 description and analysis of the megaraptoran ''[[Aoniraptor]]'', ''Bahariasaurus'' was found, along with ''[[Gualicho]]'', ''Aoniraptor'' and ''[[Deltadromeus]]'' to probably form a family in the still poorly understood clade known as the [[Megaraptora]] and are different from the more derived [[Megaraptora|megaraptorids]].<ref name="Aoniraptor">{{Cite journal|author=Matías J.

In 2016, Gregory S. Paul suggested that ''Deltadromeus'' may be a juvenile specimen of ''Bahariasaurus'', but that their relationship is uncertain and to be determined. A 2020 study found that a referred fossil of ''Bahariasaurus'' belongs to ''Deltadromeus,'' leaving ''Bahariasaurus'' to be regarded as a ''[[nomen dubium]]'' by the authors.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Ibrahim|first1=Nizar|last2=Sereno|first2=Paul C.|last3=Varricchio|first3=David J.|last4=Martill|first4=David M.|last5=Dutheil|first5=Didier B.|last6=Unwin|first6=David M.|last7=Baidder|first7=Lahssen|last8=Larsson|first8=Hans C.E.|last9=Zouhri|first9=Samir|last10=Kaoukaya|first10=Abdelhadi|date=21 April 2020|title=Geology and paleontology of the Upper Cretaceous Kem Kem Group of eastern Morocco|journal=ZooKeys|issue=928|pages=1–216|doi=10.3897/zookeys.928.47517|issn=1313-2989|pmc=7188693|pmid=32362741|doi-access=free}}</ref>
However, [[Andrea Cau|Cau]] (2024) included the ''Bahariasaurus'' type specimen in a [[phylogenetic analysis]] and recovered it in a [[monophyletic]] clade near the base of [[Ceratosauria]] along with ''[[Aoniraptor]]'', ''[[Deltadromeus]]'', and ''[[Gualicho]]'', with ''[[Elaphrosaurus]]'' as the [[sister taxon]] to this clade.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Cau |first=Andrea |date=2024 |title=A Unified Framework for Predatory Dinosaur Macroevolution |url=https://www.paleoitalia.it/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/01_Cau_2024_BSPI_631.pdf |journal=Bollettino della Società Paleontologica Italiana |volume=63 |issue=1 |pages=1–19 |doi=10.4435/BSPI.2024.08 |doi-broken-date=20 November 2024 |issn=0375-7633}}</ref>
