LIGUE 1. While the French Ligue 1 championship ended a few weeks ago, it’s already time for the 2022-2023 season with a calendar unveiled this Friday.
For many, it’s already time for an unmissable event of the season and especially of summer. This Friday, June 17, the Professional Football League will officially unveil the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 calendars for the 2022-2023 season. When will the classic OM – PSG take place? Olympico Lyon-Marseille? The Côte d’Azur derby Nice – Monaco or the Breton derby Rennes – Nantes? Who will be the first opponents of Auxerre and Toulous, back in Ligue 1 this season? All the answers this Friday.
This 2022-2023 calendar will be special because of the Football World Cup which begins on November 21 and ends on July 18. We already know that the first day of L1 will take place on the weekend of August 6 and 7, 2022. The 15th day, scheduled for the weekend of November 12 and 13, 2022, will be the last day before the start of the international break. The resumption of the Championship (16th day) will take place on Wednesday December 28, 2022, in the form of a French “boxing day”. This special program will be followed by a 17th day of Ligue 1 which will take place on Sunday January 1, 2023. The 38th and last day of Ligue 1 has been placed on Sunday June 4, 2023.
What is the classification of Ligue 1 2021-2022?
The 2021-2022 Ligue 1 season will have been marked by several similar excesses in several stadiums across the country and this sad epilogue, despite the joy of the Auxerrois, echoes an equally disastrous Champions League final at the Stade de France on Saturday evening. On a sporting level this time, it is PSG which has regained its place as leader of the championship, after Lille’s victory last season. With a 15-point lead, the Parisians, carried by a Kylian Mbappe very impressive, did not however shine, eliminated dryly from the Champions League in the round of 16 and several times put in difficulty on the grounds of Ligue 1. Olympique de Marseille, in a fight full of suspense with AS Monaco, finished in extremis in second place and qualified for the Champions League. The ASM, which will have believed until the end in the place of runner-up, therefore ends up in third position.
In the classification of this Ligue 1 2021-2022, Stade Rennais, author of a very good season, finished in fourth place, with the same number of points as Nice, but a much higher goal difference. OGC Nice, which lost a point after the excesses at the Allianz Riviera last August against OM, will have to settle for the Europa League Conference next season. Strasbourg, also the author of a historic season, let its European ticket slip away and ended its great season in sixth place, ahead of Lens then Lyon, eighth after a very mixed season.
League 1 2021 standings
In the ranking of Ligue 1 scorers, Kylian Mbappé shows that he will therefore have flown over the French championship, with impressive statistics. With 28 goals, he is ahead of Wissam Ben Yedder (As Monaco – 25 goals), Martin Terrier (Stade Rennais – 21 goals) and Moussa Dembele (Olympique Lyonnais – 21 goals) tied for third place.
It’s not just the goalscorers who count in Ligue 1. Those who provide assists to their teammates are also in the spotlight. Find above the ranking of the best passers in the French Ligue 1 championship, which still crowns a certain Kylian Mbappe (17 assists), ahead of Lionel Messi (PSG – 14 assists) and Benjamin Bourigeaud (Stade Rennais – 13 assists).
For this 2021-2022 Ligue 1 season, it is AmazonPrime which had obtained 80% of the TV rights.

Amazon has also created a special channel: Pass Ligue 1. Canal + which broadcast the two other matches of each day: the Saturday evening match (9 p.m.) and the Sunday match at 5 p.m. The system should change very little for the 2022-2023 season, which will resume its rights on the weekend of August 6 and 7, 2022 and will end on June 4, 2023. Note: from May 27 to July 26, subscribers to the Prime Video’s Ligue 1 pass will not have to pay for their subscription to Amazon’s football offer.
