The history of French Ligue 1 football
Ligue 1 was established in 1932 as the top professional football league in France. It replaced the previous regional championships and created a unified national league system.
The league has evolved from its original format to the current 18-team round-robin system. The season typically runs from August to May, with teams playing each other twice.
Ligue 1 is one of the most competitive leagues in Europe and has produced notable European successes, including Marseille's 1993 Champions League title and PSG's recent European dominance.
