Paris Saint-Germain sit top of the Ligue 1 standings after ten rounds of the 2026-27 season, two points clear of Lille, with newly promoted Paris FC the surprise package in third. The champions have won seven of their ten matches, and a seven-match winning run has opened a small gap at the top — but with 24 rounds still to play, nothing is settled. Below them, six clubs sit within three points of each other in the fight for Europe, while Le Havre remain rooted to the foot of the table without a win. Here is the full picture during the November international break: the table, the top scorers, and what Matchday 11 holds when the league returns on 20 November.
Ligue 1 standings: the full table after Matchday 10
Ten rounds have produced 266 goals in 90 games — just under three per match. Paris Saint-Germain lead on 23 points, Lille sit second on 21, and Paris FC are third on 20. Marseille hold the final Champions League place in fourth on 18 points, while Lyon and Nice are level on 17 in the Europa League and Conference League spots. At the bottom, Le Mans, Angers and Troyes are all locked on eight points, and Le Havre are six points adrift of safety.

| 14 | Auxerre | 10 | 3 | 1 | 6 | 13 | 24 | -11 | 10 |
| 15 | Le Mans | 10 | 1 | 5 | 4 | 12 | 19 | -7 | 8 |
| 16 | Angers | 10 | 2 | 2 | 6 | 9 | 19 | -10 | 8 |

| 18 | Le Havre | 10 | 0 | 2 | 8 | 9 | 22 | -13 | 2 |
The table is correct as of 14 November 2026, after Matchday 10. Positions are decided first by points, then goal difference, then goals scored — which is why Angers sit above Troyes despite identical records: both have eight points and a goal difference of minus ten, but Angers have scored nine goals to Troyes’ seven.
PSG lead the way, but the gap is only two points
Paris Saint-Germain are the five-time defending champions, and they look like the team to beat again. Seven wins, two draws and one defeat from ten games is a strong return, and their 22 goals are the joint-most in the division, level with Marseille. They have won their last seven league matches in a row.
Yet the lead is far from comfortable. Lille are only two points behind, and their challenge is built on the tightest defence in the league: seven goals conceded in ten matches, with five clean sheets. They have lost only once all season, and their 2-1 win at Rennes on the final weekend before the break kept them right on PSG’s heels.
Paris FC are the story of the season so far. Promoted to the top flight this season, they sit third on 20 points after six wins from ten games. Their 17 goals include nine from Lassine Sinayoko, the league’s top scorer. A newly promoted side in the Champions League places after ten rounds changes how the rest of the season is talked about — and their home game against Angers on 22 November is a chance to keep the run going.
Marseille complete the top four on 18 points. They have scored 22 goals, level with PSG, but are the only team in the top six without a draw — six wins and four defeats. Amine Gouiri has scored seven of their goals, and their 2-1 win at Lens on 8 November was their fifth straight win.
Ligue 1 standings: the race for Europe
The top three at the end of the season qualify directly for the Champions League league phase, the fourth-placed side enters the Champions League third qualifying round, fifth place earns a Europa League spot, and sixth place goes into the Conference League play-offs. The Coupe de France winners also qualify for the Europa League, so if they finish in the top five, the Conference League place can pass to seventh.
Right now, Lyon and Nice occupy fifth and sixth, both on 17 points. Lyon’s case rests on their defence: nine goals conceded, the third-best record in the league, and a goal difference of plus six that keeps them ahead of Nice. Nice have the same points and wins, but a goal difference of plus three leaves them sixth. A single bad weekend can drop either of them out of the European places, because the chasing pack is right behind them.
Monaco and Rennes are level on 16 points in seventh and eighth. Monaco have lost only twice — fewer than anyone outside the top three — but four draws have cost them ground. Rennes are the opposite: five wins, one draw, 21 goals scored and 21 conceded, the most open side in the division. Their matches have averaged more than four goals.
Brest and Lorient sit on 15 points each in ninth and tenth. Brest have scored 18 goals, the fourth-highest total, while Lorient have built their position on the second-best defence — eight goals conceded and six clean sheets. Lens and Toulouse are two points further back on 13. With 24 matches still to play, the European places will change hands many times before May.
The relegation battle: Le Havre still searching for a first win
At the bottom, Le Havre are in serious trouble. They are the only club in Ligue 1 yet to win a match: no wins, two draws and eight defeats from ten games, with nine goals scored and 22 conceded. Their two points leave them six behind the three clubs on eight, and they have lost their last six league matches in a row. Their next fixture could hardly be bigger — away to Troyes on Friday 20 November.
Troyes are one of this season’s two promoted clubs, back in the top flight after three years away, and they sit 17th on eight points. Their seven goals are the fewest in the division. Angers occupy the relegation play-off place in 16th, also on eight points, ahead of Troyes only on goals scored. At the end of the season, the bottom two are relegated automatically to Ligue 2, while the 16th-placed side faces a two-legged play-off against the winner of the Ligue 2 play-offs.
Le Mans, the other promoted club, are 15th on eight points after a 16-year absence from the top flight. Their record tells its own story: only one win, but five draws — more than any other club in the league. Strasbourg and Auxerre sit just above the danger zone on ten points each, but Auxerre’s defence is a concern: 24 goals conceded, the worst in the division. None of the bottom six can afford a slow restart after the break.
Top scorers: Sinayoko clear at the top
Lassine Sinayoko leads the scoring charts with nine goals for Paris FC, two clear of the chasing pair. He has scored in ten appearances, including three penalties, and his latest goal came in the 1-0 win at Auxerre on 7 November. His goals are the main reason a newly promoted side sit third, and he has also set up five for his team-mates — the most productive attacking return in the league so far.
Behind him, Amine Gouiri of Marseille and Esteban Lepaul of Rennes are level on seven goals each. Gouiri has played all ten of Marseille’s matches, while Lepaul has reached the same total in just seven appearances — a goal a game — although four of his seven have come from the penalty spot. Cameron Archer of Auxerre and Elye Wahi of Nice are next on six each, with Archer’s goals notable given his club sit 14th and have scored only 13 times as a team.
The next group is crowded: Boulaye Dia, Ludovic Ajorque, Casper Tengstedt and Florian Thauvin all have five goals. Thauvin, who plays for Lens, also leads the league’s assist charts. PSG’s goals, by contrast, have been shared around the squad — their leading scorer has four — which is part of why they keep winning even when individual forwards have quiet weeks.
Matchday 10: what happened last weekend
Matchday 10 was played across 6-8 November. Toulouse opened the round on Friday 6 November with a 3-1 home win over Strasbourg. On Saturday 7 November, PSG beat Troyes 1-0 at home to extend their winning run, while Paris FC won 1-0 away at Auxerre thanks to Sinayoko’s goal — a win that kept them third.
Sunday 8 November brought five matches. Marseille won 2-1 away at Lens, Nice won 2-0 away at Angers, and Brest beat Lyon 2-0 at home. Lorient won 2-0 away at Le Havre, Monaco were held 1-1 at Le Mans, and Lille won 2-1 away at Rennes to stay second. The top four all won, the bottom club lost again, and only two points separate ninth from twelfth.
Matchday 11: what to watch after the international break
The league resumes on Friday 20 November with the biggest game at the bottom: Troyes host Le Havre at 19:45 GMT. Troyes can open a nine-point gap over the bottom club with a win, while a Le Havre victory would cut it to three and give the league’s only winless side a first win.
Saturday 21 November brings five matches. Nice host PSG at 16:15 GMT in the pick of the round — a home win would pull sixth-placed Nice to within three points of PSG. The 19:45 GMT kick-offs are Lens against Toulouse, Lille against Lyon, Monaco against Auxerre, and Strasbourg against Brest. Lille against Lyon is the second big game of the day: second against fifth.
The round finishes on Sunday 22 November with three matches. Paris FC host Angers at 14:00 GMT, Lorient host Rennes at 16:15 GMT, and Marseille host Le Mans at 19:45 GMT. Paris FC will expect to win at home against a side in the relegation play-off place, while Marseille can strengthen their hold on fourth. By Sunday night the table will have a new shape — and with 24 rounds still to play, the title race, the European places and the relegation battle are all still wide open.
How the other big leagues compare
Ligue 1 is one of Europe’s five major leagues, and its title race looks closer than some of its neighbours at this stage. PSG’s two-point lead is small, and a newly promoted side sitting third is unusual among the big leagues this season.
