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]
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]
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.
