French Ligue 1 Overview
Ligue 1 is the top division of French football. It’s been running since 1932 and features some of the best names in French football, including PSG, Monaco, Nice, Marseille, Lille, Lyon and more.
There are 18 teams in Ligue 1, with each team playing the others home and away for a total of 34 games. The top four teams qualify for the Champions League, fifth placed goes into the Europa League, and the team that finishes sixth plays in the Europa Conference League the following season.
The bottom two teams at the end of the season are relegated down to Ligue 2, whilst the team that finishes third from bottom enters the relegation play-off with the third placed team in Ligue 2.

H2: What are the most popular bets on French Ligue 1?
Some of our most popular Ligue 1 bets include:
• League Winner Bets: An outright bet on which team you think will win Ligue 1 come the end of the season.
• Promotion / relegation: An outright bet on a certain team to get relegated from or promoted to Ligue 1.
• Top goal scorer bet: One of our most popular markets is a wager on which player will top the scoring charts at the end of the campaign. With Kylian Mbappe gone it’s a real open field.
• Match outcome: Choose the outcome of any Ligue 1 match, whether home win, away win or draw.
• Both teams to score (BTTS): Place a wager on both teams scoring in a Ligue 1 match.
• First goal scorer: Back a certain player to open the scoring in any Ligue 1 encounter.
H2: What are the differences between Premier League betting and French Ligue 1 betting?
When it comes to betting on the Premier League vs. betting on Ligue 1, the process of how you do it and the betting markets are the same. You’ll need to create a BoyleSports account to bet on Ligue 1 with us. And you’ll find all your essential Ligue 1 betting markets, from the outrights through to match markets.
But where the two tend to differ is the scale of the noise around the Premier League. Social media, YouTube, and TV channels are awash with team news, transfer speculation and more. The data to inform your Premier League betting is often more readily available. To make informed betting decisions on Ligue 1, you may have to dig a little deeper to find the best and most reliable information.
Premier League teams also have deeper pockets. They can hoover up the best talent on the market, whereas French teams need to be a little more creative with their buys and focus on developing young talent. Once you get to know the French league and the players in it, you’ll boost your knowledge of players and the game on the continent which can then help with your other football betting, whether the Premier League, Champions League, World Cup and more.
