The 2013–14 Ligue 1 was the 76th season since its establishment.[2] The season began on August 9, 2013 and ended on May 17, 2014. Paris Saint-Germain were the defending champions.[3] As in the previous years, Adidas provided the official ball for all matches, with a new Adidas Pro Ligue 1 model to be used throughout the season for all matches.[4]

On 7 May, PSG won their second straight Ligue 1 title just before losing 2–1 to Rennes.[5][6] The title was secured before PSG kicked off when Monaco drew 1–1 against Guingamp.[7][8]

Teams

There are three promoted teams from Ligue 2, replacing the three teams that were relegated from Ligue 1 following the 2012–13 season. A total of 20 teams currently compete in the league with three clubs suffering relegation to the second division, Ligue 2. All clubs that secured Ligue 1 status for the season were subject to approval by the DNCG before becoming eligible to participate.[9]

Brest was the first team relegated after a 2–0 home defeat to Sochaux on 11 May 2013 after 3 years in the top flight. Nancy followed one week later after a 2–1 home defeat to Bastia on 18 May 2013 ending 8 years of top-flight tenure. Finally Troyes were relegated from the top level after a 2–1 away defeat to Valenciennes on 26 May 2013.

These relegated team were replaced by Ligue 2 champions AS Monaco, runners-up Guingamp, and third-placed Nantes. Monaco clinched the second division title on 11 May 2013 with two matches to spare after defeating Nîmes 1–0 at away. Monaco is making its return to the first division after a two-year absence.

Guingamp and Nantes became the second and third clubs, respectively, to earn promotion to Ligue 1 alongside the champion Monaco. Both clubs achieved promotion with one game to spare following league victories on 17 May 2013. Guingamp is returning to the first division after 9 years. During its nine-year spell outside the first division Guingamp also played in Championnat National in the 2010–11 season. Finally Nantes, 8-time league champions, returned to top level after a four-year absence.[10]
