The competition used to compete with 20 teams but changed to an 18-team league in the 2023/24 season. To adjust to this change, four teams were relegated from Ligue 1 at the end of the 2022/23 season, and only two teams were promoted from Ligue 2. The French league has some of the best players in the world. This list talks about some of the highest-paid Ligue 1 players.
