Ligue 1 is the top league in France, which is arguably best known for being the domestic league of PSG, the current Champions League winners. Not only did they win the Champions League in 2024/25, but they also finished at the very top of Ligue 1 by a considerable 19-point margin, marking their fourth successive year as Ligue 1 champions.
Regardless of whether you think that PSG will continue their run of dominance, or a new contender will rise from the pack to keep things close at the top of Ligue 1, BetVictor has a betting market to suit virtually any preference. You can find a variety of soccer betting markets in our catalog, as we have extensive coverage of all games that are played throughout the Ligue 1 season!
Ligue 1 stands as the top soccer division in France, ranking fifth among Europe's elite leagues behind Spain, England, Italy, and Germany. Soccer fans once knew it as Division 1, while many still call it "Le Championnat" across France.
The league showcases 18 teams battling for glory each season, with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) often dominating the competition in recent years. Teams play 34 matches during a season, facing each opponent twice in a classic home-and-away format that is used in most leagues around the world, including the English Premier League and the Bundesliga.
Ligue 1 may not have the global appeal of the Premier League, but its technical soccer and rising stars make it an interesting landscape for fans of the sport. French soccer offers a mix of tactical play and raw talent that creates matches that you simply won't find anywhere else. The league also features clear top teams like PSG alongside clubs fighting to avoid relegation to Ligue 2.
