As the 2022 FIFA World Cup began on 20 November, the last round before the break was held on 12–13 November. The league subsequently resumed on 27 December. Four clubs were relegated to Ligue 2 at the end of the season as the number of clubs was reduced to 18 starting from the 2023–24 season. As a result, no play-offs were held at the end of the season, and this was the last season played with 20 teams.

Paris Saint-Germain were the defending champions, and they won a record-breaking eleventh title with one match to spare, following a 1–1 draw against Strasbourg on 27 May.[2]

Summary

Lens returned to the Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2002–03. Reims went on a record-breaking 19-game unbeaten run under Will Still.[3] Paris Saint-Germain were the defending champions, and secured a record-breaking eleventh title following a 1–1 draw at Strasbourg on the penultimate matchday.[4]

Teams

A total of twenty teams participated in the 2022–23 edition of the Ligue 1.

Changes

Toulouse (promoted to Ligue 1 after a two-year absence), Ajaccio (promoted after an eight-year absence), and Auxerre (promoted after a ten-year absence) were promoted from the 2021–22 Ligue 2. Bordeaux (relegated after thirty years in the top flight), Metz (relegated after three years in the top flight), and Saint-Étienne (relegated after eighteen years in the top flight) were relegated to 2022–23 Ligue 2.
