The 2022–23 Ligue 1 season ran from 5 August 2022 to 3 June 2023, with 380 matches played and 1,067 total goals scored.
If you’re collecting Ligue 1 22/23 numbers in one place, this guide covers the final table, European places, relegation outcomes, and the main team and player trends from the year.

You’ll also see short explanations of how the standings work and why certain positions mattered more than usual. That last point matters in 2022–23, because the league was moving from 20 teams down to 18 the next season. 

Ligue 1 2022/23 Season Overview

Ligue 1 used the standard double round-robin format. Each club played every other club twice. One match was home, one was away. That made 38 league matches per team.
A World Cup break also shaped the calendar, with play pausing after mid-November and restarting in late December.

The champion is the team with the most points at the end. A win gives 3 points, a draw gives 1, and a loss gives 0.
When teams finish level on points, Ligue 1 uses a set of tie criteria starting with overall goal difference. 

The season also had two major domestic cups around it. The Trophée des Champions (French Super Cup) opened the year, with Paris Saint-Germain beating Nantes 4–0 on 31 July 2022.
The Coupe de France ended the year, and Toulouse won the final 5–1 versus Nantes on 29 April 2023. 

League format and stakes in 2022/23

• 20 teams, 38 matches each (home + away). 
• 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss. 
• Standings are decided by total points, then goal difference if needed. 
• The title goes to 1st place after Round 38. 
• European places go to top finishers plus the Coupe de France winner. 
• Four clubs went down because Ligue 1 was shrinking to 18 teams. 

Final Ligue 1 Standings Breakdown 22/23

The final Ligue 1 table 2022/23 had a rare mix of drama at both ends. Paris Saint-Germain finished 1st with 85 points. Lens finished 2nd with 84 points. That’s a one-point gap after 38 rounds. 

At the bottom, there was no relegation playoff. Four teams were relegated outright, because the league format was changing for the next season. 

Here is the final Ligue 1 table 2022-23 with the core columns fans use most: played, wins, draws, losses, goals for, goals against, goal difference, points. 

For a quick Ligue 1 points table 2023 scan, the key “bands” are easy to read. Top three were in the Champions League places. Mid-table ran from 8th through 15th with smaller stakes. Bottom four went down. 

How to read the final standings

• P = matches played, always 38 in this season. 
• W/D/L = wins, draws, losses.
• GF and GA = goals scored and conceded.
• GD = goal difference (GF minus GA), used early in tie criteria. 
• Points = the core ranking metric in Ligue 1. 

Ligue 1 Champion 2022/23

Paris Saint-Germain were the Ligue 1 2022/23 champions. They finished with 85 points and a +49 goal difference.
The club sealed the title with one match still to play, after a 1–1 draw against Strasbourg on 27 May 2023. 

Compared with the prior year, the timing was later. In 2021–22, PSG clinched with four matches left. In 2022–23, it went close to the final weekend.
Lens made the race matter deep into spring, finishing one point behind. 

European Qualification Results

European tickets followed Ligue 1 placement and the Coupe de France outcome. In simple terms, league position mattered, but the cup winner also claimed a Europa League berth. 

For this season, the list is clean and easy to track:

Who qualified for Europe

• UEFA Champions League: Paris Saint-Germain, Lens, Marseille. 
• UEFA Europa League: Toulouse (Coupe de France winner), Rennes. 
• UEFA Europa Conference League: Lille. 

That’s why Rennes, even in 4th, did not “take” the cup winner’s Europa spot. Toulouse earned it directly by winning the final.

Relegation Zone Results

Four teams dropped into Ligue 2: Auxerre, Ajaccio, Troyes, and Angers.
This was not the usual pattern of “three down plus a playoff.” It happened because Ligue 1 was reducing to 18 clubs for the next season. 

The points gap at the line was also sharp. Nantes survived with 36 points. Auxerre went down on 35.
Below that, the totals fell fast, especially for Ajaccio, Troyes, and Angers. 

Relegation zone snapshot

• 17th Auxerre: 35 points, relegated. 
• 18th Ajaccio: 26 points, relegated. 
• 19th Troyes: 24 points, relegated. 
• 20th Angers: 18 points, relegated. 
• The league sent down four clubs due to the shift to 18 teams. 

One small pattern stands out. Angers and Troyes both had the season’s longest winless run, at 21 matches.
Angers also had the longest losing streak, at 13 matches. 

Team Statistics Summary

A good way to read Ligue 1 stats 2022/23 is to separate “table success” from “style trends.” PSG led on wins and points, but Lens led on defensive numbers and home output. 

PSG had 27 wins, the most in the division. Lens had only 4 losses, which is why the title went to the last weeks.
Lens also conceded just 29 goals, best in the league table, while PSG scored the most goals with 89. 

Reims were the “draw team,” with 15 draws, and they also held the longest unbeaten run at 19 matches.
At the other end, Angers and Troyes posted 21 matches without a win. 

Team leaders and laggards (quick read)

• Most wins: PSG (27). 
• Best defense by goals conceded: Lens (29). 
• Most goals scored: PSG (89). 
• Best home points: Lens (52). 
• Best away points: PSG (44). 
• Longest unbeaten run: Reims (19 matches). 
• Longest winless run: Angers and Troyes (21 matches). 

This is also the season where “home dominance” mattered again. Lens were almost untouchable at home. Rennes and Lille also built European pushes on strong home records.
