Ligue 1 history
2026
Paris Saint-Germain
Won a 14th title and an unprecedented 5th in a row, clinching it with a game to spare via a 2-0 win at Lens that also gave PSG the most away wins (11) of any side in the division that season.
2025
Paris Saint-Germain
Went the whole season unbeaten to rack up 76 points, a record for Ligue 1's 18-club era, blowing past Bordeaux's 72-point mark from 1998-99.
2024
Paris Saint-Germain
Sealed a third straight title with three games to go after Monaco lost at Lyon; PSG lost just a single league match all season.
2023
Paris Saint-Germain
Clinched a record 11th title via Lionel Messi's goal at Strasbourg, the same strike that made him Europe's all-time leading league scorer, passing Cristiano Ronaldo's mark.
2022
Paris Saint-Germain
Finished on 86 points, 15 clear of Marseille, with Kylian Mbappe becoming the first player to top Ligue 1's scoring and assist charts in the same season.
2021
Lille OSC
Upset PSG's bid for a fourth straight crown, posting a club-record 83 points while losing only three games all season.
Most points in the 18-club era
PSG set the record for Ligue 1's current 18-team, 34-match format with 76 points in 2024-25, surpassing the 72 points Bordeaux managed in 1998-99.
Longest unbeaten run
FC Nantes went 32 consecutive league matches without defeat during the 1994-95 season, a French record that also stood as a European benchmark for years.
Most goals by one player in a season
Marseille's Josip Skoblar scored 44 goals in the 1970-71 season, still the individual scoring record for a single Ligue 1 campaign.
18 clubs, not 20, playing 34 games
Ligue 1 was contracted from 20 to 18 clubs for the 2023-24 season, cutting the campaign from 38 to 34 matches per team.
Only two automatic drops, then a playoff
Just the bottom two teams go down automatically; the 16th-placed side survives via a two-legged relegation play-off against the winner of the Ligue 2 promotion play-offs.
Points can vanish for crowd trouble
Clubs can be docked points mid-season if their fans cause a match to be abandoned - Nice lost a point in 2021-22 and Montpellier lost one in 2023-24 for exactly this reason.
Head-to-head trumps goal difference, and 'fair play' is the last resort
Ligue 1's tiebreaker order puts head-to-head points and goals ahead of overall goal difference, and if teams are still level after everything else, it's decided by fair-play points.
European berths cascade downward, and the sponsor changes the league's name
If the Coupe de France winner already qualifies for Europe via league position, its Europa League and Conference League spots are passed down to the next-best-placed teams; meanwhile the division's official name shifts with its title sponsor, from 'Ligue 1 Uber Eats' to 'Ligue 1 McDonald's.'
