How Ligue 1 works

Each club plays 34 league matches: 17 at home and 17 away. A win is worth three points, a draw one point and a loss zero. The standings are built from those results across the full season.

There is no championship play-off: the club top of the table after the final matchday is champion. At the bottom, the direct relegation places drop to Ligue 2, while 16th has to defend its Ligue 1 place in a two-legged promotion/relegation play-off.

How the standings work

A win is worth 3 points and a draw 1 point. All results feed into one Ligue 1 league table. That table decides the champion and also shapes European qualification and relegation according to the competition's published rules. Clubs level on points are separated using the league's official tiebreak criteria.

What makes the Ligue 1 different

Ligue 1 has 18 clubs, so each team plays 34 league matches — four fewer than a 20-club league such as La Liga.
The 16th-place promotion/relegation play-off creates an additional survival battle after the regular league season.
The same league table decides the title race, European qualification positions and the relegation battle.
