How to read the Ligue 1 table
The table columns are standard: Pos (position), P (matches played), W (wins), D (draws), L (losses), GF (goals for), GA (goals against), GD (goal difference), and Pts (points). Teams are ranked first by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored. If still tied, head-to-head results between the teams are considered. The exact tie-breaking rules are set by the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) and may vary slightly from season to season.
Format
Ligue 1 currently has 18 teams playing a double round-robin format, totalling 34 matchdays per season. The campaign usually runs from August to May, with a winter break in December and January. There are no split phases or championship playoffs; the league table after all 34 rounds determines the final positions. Formats may adjust per LFP decisions in future seasons.
Promotion, relegation & qualification
At the end of the season, the bottom two teams in the Ligue 1 standings are relegated to Ligue 2. The 16th-placed team enters a two-legged playoff against the third-placed team from Ligue 2 for the right to stay in the top flight. For European qualification, the top three teams secure places in the UEFA Champions League group stage. The fourth-placed team enters the UEFA Europa League, while the fifth-placed team qualifies for the UEFA Conference League, subject to cup results and coefficient allocations.
