Ligue 1 Soccer Betting

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!

What is Ligue 1?

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.

Ligue 1 Betting Markets

There are plenty of different Ligue 1 betting markets that can be found within our comprehensive online sportsbook, with some of the most popular ones being:

  • Ligue 1 Outright Winner - This soccer betting market allows you to predict who will sit at the top spot at the end of the Ligue 1 season. Keep in mind that this bet will only be awarded at the corresponding odds if the team you've chosen finishes first and lifts the trophy after all 34 games have been played.
  • Match Winner - With this Ligue 1 betting market, you can pick a team to win a specific match-up. It's important to remember that when placing this type of bet, you consider a draw as a potential option, too. For example, if you pick PSG to win a game but the result is a draw, the bet will be counted as a loss.
  • Over or Under Goals - With the over or under goals market, punters are shown a number and can decide whether more or fewer goals will be scored during a game. For example, if you pick "Over 2.5 goals" then at least 3 goals must be scored during a game.
  • Corner Markets - This market revolves around the number of corners that are awarded during a game. Most corner markets have two different options, allowing players to pick which team they think will get the most corners, or how many corners there will be in total during the match.
  • Handicap Betting - With a handicap betting market, a virtual advantage or disadvantage is given to a particular team, to try and make the contest as fair as possible. For example, betting on PSG -1.5 against Monaco would mean that PSG would need to win by at least 2 clear goals in order for this bet to be marked as a successful one.
