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]
