Ligue 1 is the top soccer league in France while Paris Saint-Germain is its most-known club. PSG has been a recent power as well, having claimed eight of 10 trophies from 2012-13 to 2021-22. Meanwhile, its rivalry with Olympique de Marseille, Le Classique, is an intense one. This competition is considered by nearly every measure as one of the six best leagues in Europe.
Six French clubs participate in European soccer, three to the UEFA Champions League, two to the UEFA Europa League, and one to the UEFA Europa Conference League. Also, teams that start in one competition may sometimes be moved to a lower one in lieu of being eliminated. In 2020, PSG became the first French-based club to play in the Champions League final in 16 years. The Parisians fell to Bayern Munich, 1-0. The last French team to win this competition was Marseille (1992-93). Meanwhile, the most recent French club to play in the Europa League final was Marseille (2017-18) while no side from France has ever won it.

Prior to the professional era, the country’s first national competition started with its 1893-94 campaign. However, this had a cup format. Standard Athletic Club claimed the final over The White Rovers. Structure Ligue 1 has consisted of 20 clubs since the 2002-03 campaign, and this will continue until it is cut down to 18 for the 2023-24 season. Every team plays the other once at home and once away, resulting in a total of 38 matches through the 2022-23 season and 34 games from the 2023-24 campaign on.
The winner qualifies for the UEFA Europa League. Nantes took the trophy for the 2021-22 campaign, defeating Nice, 1-0, in the final in front of 78, 000 at the Stade de France. Note that the Coupe de la Ligue is no longer in existence. It was last held during the 2019-20 season. Ligue 2 is France’s second-tier league. Its setup is similar to Ligue 1 in that it also has 20 clubs, and it is also looking to reduce its membership to 18, most likely for the 2024-25 campaign. Currently, the top two teams go up while the third-, fourth- and fifth-place sides qualify for the playoffs. Meanwhile, the bottom two sides go down, and the 18th-place club participates in those playoffs. However, just two will go up in 2022-23, and there will be no playoffs awarding a spot to Ligue 1 that season.

Includes a dozen or so live channels, including beIN Sports for all you Ligue1 fans, for $9. (Fanatiz review) YouTube TV: Provides only the two base English-language beIN Sports channels in its Sports Plus add-on for $75. 99/mo total. A good streaming service but probably not the best for Ligue 1.

Also of note for Canadians is that Lille matches can be seen on OneSoccer as well. Meanwhile, those based in the United Kingdom and Ireland who want to check out the action on the other side of the English Channel can see some matches on BT Sport.
