On 13 March 2020, the LFP suspended Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 indefinitely following the outbreak of COVID-19 in France.[5] On 28 April 2020, it was announced that Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 campaigns would not resume, after the country banned all sporting events until September.[6] On 30 April 2020, Paris Saint-Germain were awarded the championship following the cancellation of the 2019–20 season.[7][8]
PSG topped the standings by 12 points with a game in hand at the time the league was halted. Marseille and Rennes were awarded the other two UEFA Champions League spots based on their rankings at the league's suspension. On 9 June 2020, France's highest administrative court ruled that relegation for Amiens and Toulouse was suspended for this season.[9] This was overruled on 23 June and subsequently Amiens and Toulouse were relegated to the 2020–21 Ligue 2.[10]

- ^ a b Nice finished ahead of Reims on head-to-head points: Nice 2–0 Reims, Reims 1–1 Nice.
- ^ a b Bordeaux finished ahead of Nantes on head-to-head points: Bordeaux 2–0 Nantes, Nantes 0–1 Bordeaux.
- ^ Originally, the 18th-placed Ligue 1 team would play in promotion-relegation play-offs at the end of the season with a team from Ligue 2 to decide whether they would remain in Ligue 1 for the 2020–21 season, but the play-offs were cancelled and the 18th-placed team remained in Ligue 1.
