2023–24 Ligue 1
Football league season
The 2023–24 Ligue 1 , also known as Ligue 1 Uber Eats for sponsorship reasons, was the 86th season of the Ligue 1 , France's premier football competition. The season began on 11 August 2023 and concluded on 19 May 2024. The relegation play-off was played on 30 May and 2 June 2024.[ 2]
Paris Saint-Germain were the two-time defending champions, and mathematically secured a record-extending twelfth title with three matches to spare on 28 April 2024, following Monaco 's 3–2 defeat against Lyon . It was also the club's tenth Ligue 1 title won in the last twelve seasons.[ 3]
Teams
A total of eighteen teams participated in the 2023–24 edition of the Ligue 1. In June 2021, the LFP voted overwhelmingly at its general assembly to contract Ligue 1 back to 18 clubs for the 2023–24 season, by relegating four and promoting two from Ligue 2 after 2022–23 .[ 4]
Changes
Le Havre and Metz (who returned to the top flight after fourteen and one year's absence, respectively) were promoted after finishing first and second in the 2022–23 Ligue 2 , respectively. They replaced Auxerre , Ajaccio (both relegated after one year in the top flight), Troyes and Angers (relegated after two and eight years in the top flight, respectively), who were relegated to 2023–24 Ligue 2 .
As part of the UEFA Champions League revamped format, starting from this season, four clubs in Ligue 1 qualified, instead of the previous three. The top three teams qualified directly for the league phase , and the fourth team qualified for the third qualifying round .
