Ligue 1 2026/27 Season
Ligue 1 is the top professional division in French football. The Ligue 1 2026/27 season features 18 teams, with each of the Ligue 1 teams playing 34 matches over the course of the campaign.
You can check a club’s current standing after each match in the standings.
How Ligue 1 Works
The Ligue 1 season follows the traditional European fall-spring format, with French teams competing from August through May. The Ligue 1 format consists of home and away matches, totaling 34 matchdays per season. A total of 18 clubs participate in the league, each of which must play two matches against every opponent.
Points and Ligue 1 Standings
Each match earns a team a certain number of points, which are reflected in the Ligue 1 standings. A club receives 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. Immediately after a match ends, the league table is updated and the teams’ positions change.
Ligue 1 Title, European Competition, and Relegation
At the end of the Ligue 1 season, the team finishing first is crowned the French champion. The leading teams in the table can secure European qualification for:
the league phase of the UEFA Champions League;
the Champions League qualifying rounds;
the league phase of the UEFA Europa League;
the UEFA Conference League.
Teams finishing 15th or higher in the standings remain in Ligue 1 for the following season. The team in 16th place faces the winner of the Ligue 2 play-offs, while 17th and 18th place make up the automatic relegation zone, with both teams dropping directly to Ligue 2.
Upcoming Ligue 1 Fixtures
Users can check the latest Ligue 1 fixtures directly on the 1xBet platform. You’ll need to go to a separate page to view the dates and times in the schedule. All information on Ligue 1 matches is constantly updated, taking into account any unforeseen circumstances and other changes. Bettors from Albania can also check odds, markets, and statistics here.
Schedule and Matchdays
The 2026/27 season will feature 34 matchdays, which are evenly distributed across the dates. However, the Ligue 1 schedule may change due to various factors, such as broadcast conflicts, scheduling conflicts with other tournaments, or insufficient rest time for teams. For this reason, kick-off times may be rescheduled. Fans and bettors are notified of these changes in advance so they don’t miss an important match.
Ligue 1 Standings and Results
To understand the current standings, it’s important to consult the Ligue 1 table. There, you can see how many points each team has earned, their recent form in terms of wins and losses, and their positions in the overall standings. Ligue 1 results in France are updated after every match played between teams. When placing bets, it’s important to check the data in the table regularly.
Popular Ligue 1 Betting Markets
Users from Albania have access to a variety of Ligue 1 betting markets. On the 1xBet platform, you can find the following:
1X2. In this bet, you can choose only one outcome: 1 – first team wins, X – draw, 2 – second team wins.
Double Chance. This bet covers two of the three possible match outcomes. 1X – a draw or a win for the first team; X2 – a draw or a win for the second team; 12 – a win for either the first or second team.
Total Goals. This bet predicts the number of goals scored, but not the exact number. You must predict whether fewer or more goals will be scored than the specified line.
Both Teams to Score. You predict whether both teams will score at least one goal: Yes or No.
Handicap. This market offers a virtual advantage or disadvantage for one of the teams. It’s suitable for betting on the underdog.
Statistics. Statistical markets take into account the number of cards received during the game, corners taken, and fouls committed.
All Ligue 1 odds depend on the probability of the outcome. If a team is strong and its chances of winning are high, the odds for that market will be lower. If the probability of an event occurring is low, the odds will be higher.
Bets can be placed pre-match before the event begins and in live mode as soon as it starts. Each selection is added to the betting slip for confirmation. Bets can be placed via a browser on a PC or using the app on a smartphone.
1X2 Match Result
A Ligue 1 1X2 bet involves only three possible outcomes:
1 – home team win.
X – the match ends in a draw.
2 – away team wins on the road.
In this type of bet, the player can choose only one outcome; all others will be considered losing bets.
Double Chance
The advantage of a Ligue 1 double chance bet is the ability to hedge your bets on the match outcome. This is useful if the bettor believes that one of two possible outcomes is likely:
1X – a win for the home team or a draw;
X2 – a win for the away team or a draw;
12 – a win for either the home or away team.
Over/Under Goals
A Ligue 1 over under bet is based on the total number of goals scored. Bettors do not need to predict the exact number of goals; they only need to decide whether the goal totals will be over or under the selected line. In the over/under line, the total can be a whole number or a fraction. The most popular option is the half-total of 2.5, where there is no push. With a whole-number total such as 2.0 or 3.0, the stake is refunded if the number of goals scored is exactly equal to the line.
Both Teams to Score
A “ Both Teams Score ” bet involves whether or not both teams will score a goal. The total number of goals is not taken into account here. In Ligue 1 BTTS betting, “Both Teams to Score – Yes” wins if both sides score at least once. If either team fails to find the net, the bet loses.
“Both Teams to Score – No” wins if at least one side keeps the other from scoring. If both teams score, the bet loses.
Handicap Markets
Handicap betting is one of the most popular markets in the line when there is a clear difference in strength between the two teams. The handicap virtually gives the weaker side an advantage while placing a disadvantage on the stronger team. The platform offers both European and Asian handicap options. In Ligue 1 handicap betting, a negative line is typically applied to the favorite, while a positive one is used for the underdog.
Corners, Cards, and Players
The French Ligue 1 betting line includes markets based on match statistics, where available. Bettors can wager on various outcomes, including Ligue 1 corners, the number of cards shown, or which goalscorer will find the net. In addition, there are individual player statistics that you can also bet on.
What to Check Before Betting on Ligue 1
It’s best to make Ligue 1 predictions after thoroughly researching various factors about the teams and the latest news. Important details to consider include:
team form;
current lineups;
injuries among key players;
suspensions;
team schedules;
Ligue 1 stats for home and away matches.
You should check this information right before placing a bet, as it may change depending on the current situation.
