Three or four French clubs will take part in the Champions League group stage next season. PSG, the French champions, and Monaco, confirmed as the runners-up, have secured their spots. Meanwhile, Lille and Brest are in a tight battle for the third direct ticket to the Champions League. The team that misses out will claim the fourth spot in Ligue 1 with a chance to advance through the qualifying rounds in August. If they fail to qualify, they will enter the Europa League group stage.
Nice, currently in fifth place in Ligue 1, will earn a direct spot in the group stage of the Europa League. The outcome of the French Cup final in Lille next Saturday will also impact the European qualification. If Lyon wins, they will qualify for the Europa League group stage, and the sixth-place team will enter the Europa Conference League playoffs. However, if PSG wins both the league and the cup, the sixth-place team (potentially Lyon) will go to the Europa League group stage, and the seventh-place team will compete in the Europa Conference League playoffs.
