Notes

A. ^ Because of World War II, competitive football was suspended by the French government, although its member clubs continued playing in regional competitions. During the "war championships", as they are called, professionalism was abolished by the Vichy regime and clubs were forced to participate in regional leagues, designated Zone Sud (South Zone) and Zone Nord (North Zone). The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) and the French Football Federation (FFF) do not recognize these championships played between 1939 and 1945.

B. ^ The 1992–93 season was originally won by Marseille, under the management of Jean Fernandez (August–November 1992) and Raymond Goethals (November 1992 – June 1993). It would have been Goethals' third successive title with the club. However, in September 1993 the French Football Federation rescinded Marseille's title due to a match fixing scandal in which Marseille had allegedly offered bribes to several Valenciennes players so that they would lose their home fixture against Marseille played in May. Although Paris Saint-Germain, managed by Artur Jorge, finished the season as runners-up with four points behind Marseille, the title eventually remained unattributed and no winner was ever declared for the 1992–93 season.
