Revision as of 11:48, 3 April 2016

The 2015–16 Ligue 1 season is the 78th season of the Ligue de Football Professionnel first division since its establishment. Paris Saint-Germain were the defending champions, and retained the title with a 9–0 win at Troyes on 13 March.^[3] It was their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title.^[4]^[5]

Teams

There are 20 clubs in the league, with three promoted teams from Ligue 2 replacing the three teams that were relegated from Ligue 1 following the 2014–15 season. All clubs that secured Ligue 1 status for the season were subject to approval by the DNCG before becoming eligible to participate. Originally, only two teams were planned to be relegated at the end of the season.^[6] However, this proposal was appealed and eventually overturned, so as in past seasons, three teams are to be relegated.^[7] Evian, Metz and Lens were relegated to Ligue 2 at the conclusion of the 2014–15 season. Troyes, Gazelec Ajaccio and Angers were promoted to the top level. Troyes returned after being relegated in 2013–14 season. Gazelec Ajaccio secured their second consecutive promotion and joined Ligue 1 for the first time in the club's history. Angers returned to the top level after 21 years.

Positions by round

The table lists the positions of teams after completion of each round. In order to preserve chronological evolvements, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.
