Ligue 1 is well known for offering top-level soccer, including powerhouses such as Kylian Mbappé, Neymar, Wissam Ben Yedder, Amine Gouiri, Lionel Messi, and Jonathan David. You can watch every Ligue 1 matchday with Sling TV.
In a hurry? Ligue 1 games in the US are exclusively on beIN Sports, a relatively obscure channel unless you’re an international soccer fan. You can get the best deal on the beIN Sports channels with Sling TV’s Sports Extra (plus a base plan) ($40.00/mo + $11/mo) or World Sports package ($10/mo after $7 first month). Sign up now!
Table Of Contents
Ligue 1 Uber Eats is the highest level of French soccer, similar to the English Premier League in the UK, La Liga in Spain, or the Bundesliga in Germany. Top European league teams go on to compete in the Europe-wide UEFA Champions League, while the bottom French teams each season face relegation to Ligue 2.
French soccer is currently dominated by Paris St.-Germain (PSG), which has won eight out of the past ten seasons and holds a record eleven Ligue 1 titles. Other successful, popular teams include Lyon, AS Monaco, Nantes, and Marseille.
2023 Ligue 1 Schedule
The upcoming 2023-24 Ligue 1 season is set to kick off on August 11th, 2023. It will roll through 34 rounds until its conclusion on May 18th, 2024. And keep an eye out for the Ligue 1 playoffs – they’re scheduled for May 30th and June 2nd, 2024!
Be aware that “matchday” includes the entire weekend from Friday through Sunday.
Watching Ligue 1 on Sling TV
If you want live sports and local stations as part of your live TV package, at $40.00/mo, Sling TV is the best deal you can get. Anything lower-priced will not have ESPN or FS1, let alone any of the lesser-known international channels like beIN Sports. The next cheapest TV provider after Sling is Hulu + Live TV at $76.99/mo — almost twice as much, even before Sling’s special offer. Save 50% on your first month of Sling TV.
You have the choice of either Sling Orange or Blue (either one is $40.00/mo), which both have dozens of popular channels like Discovery, TBS, FX, USA, and Disney Channel. But whichever one you go with, to get beIN Sports, you’ll need the Sports Extra addon, which is $11 additional per month.
In addition to Ligue 1, beIN Sports also airs Coupe de France and Ligue 2 matches. For more information on the differences between Sling Blue and Orange and which channels are included, please see our full review of Sling’s packages and plans.
Alternately, you can subscribe to the World Sports package, which is $10/mo — and only $7 for your first month. With this package, you can watch many top soccer leagues from around the world on beIN Sports, as well as pretty much every major league cricket match on Willow.
Wrapping Up
Sling TV gives you the most affordable options for watching Ligue 1 soccer in the States. Sign up for their full package with Sling Orange or Blue + Sports Extra to get movies, shows, and specials along with your soccer, or go for just the soccer with the World Sports package — the choice is yours!
