Ligue 1 2019-20 was the 82nd season since its establishment. PSG topped the standings by 12 points with a game in hand when the league was halted. Marseille and Rennes were awarded the other two UEFA Champions League spots based on their rankings at the league’s suspension.
On 9 June 2020, France’s highest administrative court ruled that relegation for Amiens and Toulouse was suspended for the season. However, this decision was overruled on 23 June, and Amiens and Toulouse were subsequently relegated to the 2020–21 Ligue 2.

Notes:
– Since Paris Saint-Germain, the winners of both the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue, qualified for the Champions League, the Europa League group stage spot allocated to the Coupe de France winners was passed to the fifth-placed team, and the Europa League second qualifying round spot allocated to the Coupe de la Ligue winners was passed to the sixth-placed team.
– Nice finished ahead of Reims on head-to-head points: Nice 2–0 Reims, Reims 1–1 Nice.
– Bordeaux finished ahead of Nantes on head-to-head points: Bordeaux 2–0 Nantes, Nantes 0–1 Bordeaux.
Originally, the 18th-placed Ligue 1 team was set to play in promotion-relegation play-offs with a team from Ligue 2 to decide whether they would remain in Ligue 1 for the 2020–21 season. However, the play-offs were cancelled, and the 18th-placed team remained in Ligue 1.
