List of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. seasons
Paris Saint-Germain Football Club is a French professional football club based in Paris, that currently plays in Ligue 1.[1] Founded in 1970, following the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain, the club have completed 54 seasons, of which 51 have been played in the highest division in French football, known as Ligue 1.[1][2][3][4] In 2023–24, PSG celebrated their 50th consecutive campaign in Ligue 1, which makes them the competitions's longest-serving club.[4][5]
The club played its first official match on 23 August 1970, when it drew 1–1 away to Poitiers on matchday one of Ligue 2.[1][6] PSG would go on to win the second division title at the end of the campaign, earning promotion to the top flight.[7][8] The Parisians made their Ligue 1 debut on 11 August 1971, in a 2–0 defeat away to Angers.[4] Their momentum was soon checked, however, and the club split in June 1972, Paris FC remaining in the first division and PSG administratively demoted to the third tier.[7][9]
Following back-to-back promotions, PSG returned to Ligue 1 in the 1974–75 campaign, and have never looked back.[4][5] Since then, the club have won a record twelve league titles, finishing first more frequently than in any other position.[4] Having come second in nine league campaigns, PSG have therefore made up the top two spots on twenty occasions.[4] They have also reached the top five 29 times, which represents more than half of the club's seasons in Ligue 1.[4] PSG's lowest-ever finish is 16th, both in 1971–72 (their first in Ligue 1) and 2007–08, when they escaped relegation on the final day of the season, with a 2–1 win at Sochaux.[4]
PSG experienced their best season to date in 2019–20, winning all four domestic titles, reaching the 2020 UEFA Champions League final, and averaging a record 47,517 spectators per home league match.[2][10][11] The Red and Blues also established several records during 2015–16.[12] They secured 96 points, their highest points tally in Ligue 1, while conceding just 19 goals; won 47 matches across all competitions; and Zlatan Ibrahimović became the player with the most goals scored in a single season, finding the back of the net 50 times.[12][13] Other notable records, all competitions included, are the 28 goals conceded in 1993–94, the 61 matches played in 1994–95, and the 171 goals scored in 2017–18.[12]
