How to buy Ligue 1 tickets
To purchase Ligue 1 match tickets, the most reliable method is to go to the official club sites.
You may need to create an account and provide personal information. Tickets are often released between 4 and 6 weeks before matchday.
While match tickets for the biggest clubs, such as PSG, often sell out quickly, tickets for many other teams are more accessible.
If tickets are sold out via official channels or you are looking to snap up last-minute tickets, you may wish to consider secondary retailers such as StubHub.
How much are Ligue 1 tickets?
The cost of Ligue 1 match tickets varies widely. Most clubs offer tiered pricing based on age groups, including adult, junior, and senior categories, but these brackets differ from club to club.
In addition to those factors, seat locations within the stadiums significantly affect the ticket price, with premium views commanding the highest cost.
Some clubs also classify fixtures by category, with marquee matchups against big-name opponents, such as ‘Le Classique’ (PSG vs Marseille) and ‘Le Derby des Olympiques’ (Olympique Lyonnais vs Marseille) falling into the highest tier, with prices rising accordingly.

Food and beverages are often included in all packages, with fine dining experiences available in the higher-range options.
What to expect from the Ligue 1 season?
Whichever Ligue 1 match you do decide to book tickets for, you are likely to see some bright young stars of the future. A whole flock of famous French players kicked off their impressive careers on home soil, including Zinedine Zidane (Bordeaux), Thierry Henry and Kylian Mbappe (Monaco), Eric Cantona (Auxerre) and Michel Platini (Nancy) to name just a few.
As well as being renowned for being a breeding ground for nurturing young French talent, global talents of the current game also ply their trade in Ligue 1, such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Folarin Balogun and Endrick.
Paris St Germain have been the leading lights of Ligue 1 in recent times and ticket demand is always high to see them in action at the Parc de Princes. Last season proved to be another successful campaign for the Les Rouge-et-Bleu, who clinched a fifth successive French league title.
Not only did they dominate on the domestic front, Luis Enrique’s men also became the first side to retain their European crown since Real Madrid in 2018. They now look to join an elite club that includes Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Ajax, who’ve reigned supreme in Europe for three consecutive seasons.
There aren't many teams globally who can boast a trophy cabinet like PSG. France's most successful club, despite only coming into existence just over half a century ago, has amassed over 50 major honours.
However, other Ligue 1 sides have illustrious histories too of course and are very well supported. In fact, Marseille, who finished as Ligue 1 runners-up for the 15th time in their history in 2025, have the highest average attendances in France, with crowds of 60,000+ watching their games at the Stade Velodrome (now known as the Orange Velodrome).
Marseille also famously became the first French side to win the Champions League. A side that was skippered by French legend, Didier Deschamps and included the likes of Basile Boli and Marcel Desailly beat AC Milan 1-0 in the 1993 Final in Munich, to become kings of Europe. Other French clubs who have regular big home crowds, include Olympique Lyonnais, Lille and Lens.
How can I watch or stream Ligue 1 matches?
Despite PSG becoming champions of Europe again last season, UK TV broadcasters decided against purchasing television rights for Ligue 1 for the 2026/27 season.
However, in the United States, Ligue 1 matches will be shown on beIn Sports, beIn Sports Connect and Fubo. On Fubo, French matches can be accessed on the Pro ($84.99/month), Elite ($104.99/month), Deluxe ($114.99/month), or Fubo Latino ($14.99/month) subscription plans, as these carry the beIN Sports network.
Fubo offers a free 5-day trial to new subscribers for all of its plans. To avoid being automatically charged the full price of your selected tier, you must cancel your subscription before the 5-day trial period finishes.
