How are teams ranked in the Ligue 1 table?
About Ligue 1
Before checking the places of Ligue 1 participants, let’s improve your knowledge with some basic understandings about this French football league.
What is Ligue 1?
Ligue 1 is the name of the highest division in the French football system. It is also known as the Ligue 1 Uber Eats due to sponsorship reasons. This football competition was founded in 1932 under the name National, then Division 1 in the next year. Since 2002, it has been called Ligue 1 and held annually from August to May.
Ligue 1 is organized by the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), and it is one of the most prestigious leagues in the European football system, along with the Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, and Serie A, making up “Big Five'' in football history. Despite the fifth ranking, this is still a worthy competition to watch.

How does Ligue 1 work?
Basically, France Ligue 1 is run the same way as other top-flight divisions in the area. The round-robin format is going to be applied to 20 teams participating in the league. Each of them will have to join 38 matches in total, half at home ground and half away, at their rivals’ venues.
Three points are awarded for winning a single match, it would be one point if it is a tied match, and zero points are given to the underdog of the game. At the end of the competition, the team who finished with the highest point will be victorious. In case more than one time ended up equal, they will be judged on the goals difference, goals scored, and a series of playoffs on neutral grounds will take place.
Ligue 1 has a close connection with the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Ligue 2 under the promoting and relegating system. The top three teams in Ligue 1 qualify for the UCL (the top two go into the group stage while the third-ranked team is transferred to the third qualifying round). The fourth-placed club is promoted to the Europa League. Meanwhile, the bottom three teams will be relegated to France Ligue 2.
Why is Ligue 1 called “Farmer’s League”?
You must have listened to the term “Farmer’s League” when it comes to Ligue 1. Many football fans from opponent leagues have called Ligue 1 this nickname, so what does it really mean?
The reason behind this term is they imply that footballers in Ligue 1 have their day job as farmers and play football in the evening because they are not as professional and well-skilled as their friends in other top divisions.
Moreover, Ligue 1 is considered a non-competitive competition because it is like a one-horse race for PSG. Although Saint-Étienne is the team that won the most Ligue 1 titles, their era was mostly in the 20th century and the recent victories have all belonged to PSG, which made all the others become the underdogs of the competition.

Last updated on 21st March.
Above is the table that features the current positions of 20 teams in the 2020-2021 Ligue 1. Accordingly and obviously, PSG is standing at the top of the table, with 63 points total. Notably, Lille, who has just three times become the champions in Ligue 1 history, is showing their potency this season with equal points with PSG. However, since their GD is 31 goals compared to 46 goals of PSG, that’s why they are currently ranked second.

Who is the best team in Ligue 1?
It could be true to say that Saint-Étienne is the most successful team in Ligue 1 based on their achievement for 10 times bringing the Ligue 1 trophy home. However, depending on the current consequences, PSG seems to be the best team in Ligue 1. Equipped with several stars like Neymar, or Kylian Mbappé, and Zlatan in the past, this team is supposed to be the strongest one in this top-flight French football division.
