List of French football champions
Paris Saint-Germain are poised to extend their dominance in Ligue 1 history as they stand just one positive result away from clinching their 13th French championship title. Founded in 1970, the Parisian giants claimed their maiden title in 1986 and have since rewritten the record books, especially with a staggering run of success since 2013.
The closest contender in the all-time list, AS Saint-Étienne, boasts 10 league titles. However, the historic club from the Loire Valley hasn't lifted the trophy since 1981, making PSG’s modern-era supremacy even more pronounced. The capital club’s current run includes 9 titles in the last 11 seasons – a testament to their domestic dominance in the Qatari ownership era.
One notable chapter in French football's past includes the 1992/93 title that was stripped from Olympique de Marseille due to a match-fixing scandal, making it the only Ligue 1 season without an official champion.
