France's top professional division
Ligue 1 (officially Ligue 1 Uber Eats) is the top professional football division in France. Founded in 1932, it features 18 clubs from 2023/24 competing in a double round-robin from August to May. France has produced multiple FIFA World Cup champions and a steady stream of elite attacking talent — Ligue 1 remains a key destination and incubator for emerging stars.
