We take a look at the full list of Ligue 1 champions since the division became professional in 1932.
The league was run by an amateur sport governing body for three decades before Ligue 1 was inaugurated in 1932.
Since the first professional season, there has been a total of 16 different French football champions.
Paris Saint-Germain are the current reigning champions and most successful club in France, having won 14 titles between 1986 and 2026. They overtook Saint-Etienne in 2023, with Las Verts winning 10 titles between 1957 and 1981.
Olympique Lyonnais hold the record for most Ligue 1 titles in a row as they were crowned champions in seven consecutive seasons from 2001/02.
