Paris Saint-Germain were crowned French champions for a fifth consecutive season after winning Ligue 1 in the 2025-26 campaign.
The French top flight will feature 34 rounds this season, with the league title expected to be contested primarily by Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco and Marseille. The precise outcome of the championship race will be reflected in the latest results, fixtures and league table available through the Ligue 1 section.
Alongside the battle for first place, the fight to avoid relegation to Ligue 2 will be a major focus. Troyes, Le Mans and Angers are identified as the leading candidates to go down in the next season.
Under the relegation arrangements outlined for the 2026-27 Ligue 1 season, the teams finishing 17th and 18th will be relegated directly to Ligue 2. The side ending the campaign in 16th place will not be relegated automatically but will have to play a two-legged relegation play-off against the winner of the Ligue 2 play-offs.
The final league positions will be determined by a set of tie-breakers if two or more clubs finish level on points. Goal difference is the first deciding factor, followed by the total number of goals scored in the championship during the season.
If teams remain level after those measures, the number of goals scored in head-to-head matches will be taken into account. The final listed criterion is the fair-play ranking recorded across league fixtures.
Paris Saint-Germain’s fifth successive title is the most significant result recorded in the competition information. Monaco and Marseille are listed as the principal challengers for the championship, while Troyes, Le Mans and Angers face the greatest danger of dropping into Ligue 2.
