Ligue 1 table 2026-27 after matchday 10: Paris Saint-Germain lead on 23, Paris FC join them and Lille with a top three number, the top three line falls to 91 and the relegation line to 81

A round ago two Ligue 1 clubs held a number that guaranteed a top three finish. Now three do. Paris Saint-Germain beat Troyes 1-0 at home on November 8, Korean time, and lead on 23 points, with seven wins, two draws and one defeat. Their title clinch number fell from 74 to 71 and their top three number from 73 to 68. Lille won 2-1 at Rennes the same day and are second on 21, their top three number down from 75 to 70. Paris FC also won 1-0 at Auxerre on the 8th, are third on 20, and now hold a top three number of 71. In our previous piece only Paris Saint-Germain and Lille had one.

Everything here is as of the November 9 update. Ninety of the season's 306 matches are in, and all 18 clubs have played ten and have 24 left, worth up to 72 points each. The round ran from November 7 to November 9, Korean time, home side first: Toulouse 3-1 Strasbourg on the 7th, Auxerre 0-1 Paris FC, Rennes 1-2 Lille and Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Troyes on the 8th, and Brest 2-0 Lyon, Lens 1-2 Marseille, Le Havre 0-2 Lorient, Le Mans 1-1 Monaco and Angers 0-2 Nice on the 9th.

Why the line came down to 91. To be sure of a top three place a club has to finish above all but two of its rivals, and a rival who can only finish level still counts as a threat. The four highest ceilings are now Paris Saint-Germain's 95, Lille's 93, Paris FC's 92 and Marseille's 90, after Marseille won 2-1 at Lens and moved into fourth on 18. Last time Lyon and Paris FC could both reach 92, so Paris Saint-Germain and Lille needed 93. Now each of the top three sees 90 as the third highest ceiling among its rivals, and 91 is enough: 23 plus 68, 21 plus 70 and 20 plus 71. Of the 72 points left, Paris Saint-Germain can drop 4, Lille 2 and Paris FC 1. A round ago Paris Saint-Germain could drop 2 and Lille none. For the title only Lille's 93 matters, so Paris Saint-Germain's target is 94, 23 plus 71, with 1 point to spare as before. Marseille can reach 90 at most, which all three clubs above them can pass, so their number is blank.

Lyon lost 2-0 at Brest and dropped to fifth on 17, ahead of Nice on goal difference after Nice won 2-0 at Angers. A round ago Lyon had no top three tragic number. Now they, Marseille and Nice carry 24, every match they have left, and the numbers fall to 19 for Le Havre. Lille's and Paris FC's title tragic numbers are also 24. Monaco, who drew 1-1 at Le Mans, and Rennes are on 16, and Brest and Lorient, who won 2-0 at Le Havre, are on 15. Lille have conceded 7, still the fewest in the league.

At the bottom the Ligue 1 relegates two clubs directly and the 16th plays a relegation play-off, so the line here is for avoiding automatic relegation, a top 16 finish, not for being safe. That total fell from 83 to 81. The lowest ceiling is Le Havre's 74, and the next is 80, shared by Le Mans, Angers and Troyes. Angers lost 2-0 at home to Nice and Troyes lost 1-0 at Paris Saint-Germain. Both stay on 8, and a ceiling of 80 is one short of the line, so the 75s they held last time are gone. Fourteen clubs now carry a line, from 58 for Paris Saint-Germain up to 71 for Strasbourg, beaten 3-1 at Toulouse, and Auxerre, both on 10.

Le Havre lost 2-0 at home to Lorient. With two draws and eight defeats they are still the only club without a win, and their relegation tragic number went from 24 to 23, the only one left in the league. Le Mans drew 1-1 with Monaco and reached 8 points, level with Angers and Troyes, and their tragic number of 25 has gone. A blank means arithmetic alone cannot settle it yet. Angers and Troyes are level with them, and a club that is only level cannot eliminate another.

Nothing is clinched or eliminated and every club can still finish anywhere from first to 18th. The next round cannot change that: after it the widest gap in the table can be 24 points, with 23 matches, 69 points, left for everyone. The round runs from November 21 to November 23, Korean time. Troyes host Le Havre on the 21st. On the 22nd Lens host Toulouse, Paris FC host Angers, Monaco host Auxerre, Nice host Paris Saint-Germain, Strasbourg host Brest and Lille host Lyon. On the 23rd Marseille host Le Mans and Lorient host Rennes. The full list is at.

How to read these numbers. A clinch number is the minimum further points that guarantee an outcome even if every rival takes every point still on its own schedule. A tragic number is the number of further defeats after which an outcome becomes impossible even if the club wins everything else. A blank means no run of that club's own results settles the question. A rival who can only draw level still counts as a threat to a clinch, while a rival who is merely level cannot eliminate a club. Goal difference, head to head records and the official tiebreakers are not part of the calculation. The live table is at, the qualification and relegation rules at, the club by club figures at and the method at, while plays the rest of the season out result by result.
