Finishes: Colors & Stains

Ligue 1 seasons typically consist of 38 rounds or matchdays. Each team plays against the other teams in the league twice, once at home and once away, resulting in a total of 38 matches per team.

Each side will play 34 matches instead of 38 and there will be only one round of midweek games on Dec. 20, which falls before the winter break. Following that break, league play resumes on the weekend of Jan. 13-14 and ends on May 18.
