Teams

A total of eighteen teams participated in the 2024–25 edition of the Ligue 1. Auxerre and Angers (who both returned to the top flight after one year's absence) were promoted after finishing first and second in the 2023–24 Ligue 2, respectively, and Saint-Étienne (who returned to the top flight after two year's absence) was promoted after winning a play-off against Metz. They replaced Metz, Lorient and Clermont (relegated after one, four and three years in the top flight, respectively), who were relegated to 2024–25 Ligue 2.
