Ligue 1 is the highest level of men’s professional football in France. A total of 18 teams compete in a home-and-away format, with each club playing 34 matches throughout the season.
At the business end of the table, the first and second-placed teams qualify directly for the UEFA Champions League, while the third-placed team enters the qualifying rounds.
Down at the bottom, the bottom two sides are relegated automatically to Ligue 2, while the 16th-placed team faces a playoff against the third-placed Ligue 2 contender to fight for their place in next season’s campaign.
While Ligue 1 may not always command the same spotlight as the Premier League or Spain La Liga, it consistently produces players who define the eras they’re in and change the way football is played — from Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry, to Kylian Mbappé.
That reputation is evolving all the time, with current champions of Europe, PSG, also helping the competition shed its outdated 'farmer’s league' tag.
Here at interwetten, we’re connoisseurs of the French game — from tactical battles to emerging stars, and the unmatched tifos in the stands. That’s why we offer some of the most extensive Ligue 1 betting odds markets around.
Whether you’re backing Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to extend their dominance, Monaco to secure Champions League football, or Angers to go down, you’ll find every outcome priced up on our Football betting page.
2025/2026 Ligue 1 Betting
PSG will begin the 2025/2026 season as favourites in the latest Ligue 1 odds winner market, and for good reason.
Luis Enrique has built a side capable of dominating not just domestically, but internationally too, as proven when the Parisian giants beat Inter Milan to win the Champions League, before going on to reach the final of the new-look Club World Cup.
Crucially, that success followed their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title. It will take more than a Herculean effort to stop Enrique’s PSG from making it five in a row.
Still, bidding to do so will be Roberto De Zerbi and his Marseille side. While the task of dethroning PSG may seem unachievable, if anyone can manage it, it’s the charismatic Italian who demands perfection in everything his players do.
De Zerbi took Marseille from eighth to second in his first season at the Vélodrome and will no doubt believe he can make history by winning Ligue 1 in his second, and delivering the club’s first top-flight title since 2010.
Monaco finished third in Ligue 1 last season and have shown admirable consistency over the past two campaigns, having also ended as runners-up in 2023/2024 — just nine points behind PSG, which amounts to a photo finish by Ligue 1 standards.
As Adi Hütter’s side pushes for their first league title since 2017, they’ll be boosted by the arrival of Paul Pogba, who has joined the Monégasque club on a two-year deal.
Lille will be aiming to improve on their fifth-place finish in Ligue 1 last season and may even fancy an outside shot at the title.
The Stade Pierre-Mauroy outfit impressed in Europe too, reaching the Champions League Round of 16 before being edged out by Borussia Dortmund over two legs.
Should the club manage to adequately replace key players — including left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, who made 45 appearances last season before joining Leeds United in the summer — then another strong Ligue 1 campaign could well be on the cards for the northern side.
Ligue 1 Betting Odds
French Ligue 1 odds function the same way as in other top-tier competitions — whether you’re comparing them to the Premier League or looking at outright markets in the Europa League.
It’s all about understanding probability and weighing risk against reward.
Take this example: PSG are priced at 1.10 to win the Ligue 1 title, showing just how heavily the odds are stacked in their favour. In contrast, a club like Brest at 51.00 is considered an outsider, but with a much higher potential payout if they defy the odds.
To break it down: a €10 bet on PSG at 1.10 could return €11, while the same €10 stake on Brest at 51.00 could return €510.
As the season progresses and form changes, we’ll update the France Ligue 1 odds regularly to reflect the latest state of play.

Live Ligue 1 Betting
Ligue 1 often plays out like a high-stakes game of chess — managers making subtle tactical adjustments, players shifting positions, and momentum swinging with each move. It’s this fluidity that makes live betting a key part of the French top flight.
For example, if Monaco are generating a high xG but still haven't found the net, the Next Team to Score market could be an option to consider based on their sustained attacking threat.
If Rennes are racking up corners and testing the keeper, you might look again at the Over/Under Total Goals market.
And if Lens are holding onto a narrow lead in added time, Double Chance or Winning Margin can offer a more cautious way to back them without overcommitting.
In a league where one substitution or tactical switch can reshape the game, our live Ligue 1 odds let you stay one step ahead.
