Long-term predictions for the outcomes of Ligue 1 season 2026/2027
Who will be the champion of France at the end of the 2026/2027 season?
Perhaps, there is almost no intrigue here. There is no doubt that in the upcoming season, PSG will once again become the champion of France in football. The Parisian club has taken the gold medals of Ligue 1 a whopping 12 times, starting from 2013! The dominance of the capital's club has now transferred to the Champions League, where Luis Enrique's team has taken the last two draws.
Yes, if we look at the truth in
Currently, there is no serious competitor for PSG in France. If the Parisians do not claim the championship again, it would be a huge sensation.
Who will make it into the top 3 of Ligue 1 at the end of the 2026/2027 season?
The race for the top 3 in France promises to be extremely interesting. There are indeed many contenders. We choose PSG, Monaco, and Lille. Monaco has strategically conducted their transfer campaign and strengthened each of their lines. Considering their highly promising squad has only gained more experience this year, the team of ambitious Filipe Luis enters the new season as a clear candidate for the Champions League zone. We also expect a strong performance from Lille, largely due to the appointment of Davide Ancelotti, son of the legendary Carlo Ancelotti, as coach. Since the 2022/2023 season, the "Dogs" have consistently been in the top five of Ligue 1, and there are all the prerequisites to continue this trend in the upcoming draw.
Who will be relegated from Ligue 1 at the end of the 2026/2027 season?
We will not experiment here. We assume that Le Mans will be relegated to Ligue 2 at the end of this season. The club returned to Ligue 1 after a 16-year absence, but it seems, not for long. The current Le Mans squad is not impressive. And they spent the summer so "dull" that they have not spent a penny so far. Undoubtedly, this is the main candidate for the last place in the championship table.
Who will be the top scorer of Ligue 1 in the 2026/2027 season?
In the 2025/2026 season, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored eight goals in 28 Ligue 1 matches. For comparison: in the previous season for PSG in the French championship, he had only four goals. It is clear that the Georgian has adapted and not only started to play more effectively, but also became the leader of the Parisian attack. We assume that in the upcoming season, Kvaratskhelia will be the top scorer of Ligue 1, as it seems that the 25-year-old winger is now approaching his prime period in his career.
