The 2008–09 Ligue 1 season was the 71st since its establishment. Bordeaux became champions for the sixth time on the penultimate weekend of the season. The fixtures were announced on 23 May 2008.[1] The season began on 9 August 2008 and ended on 30 May 2009. A total of 20 teams contested the league, consisting of 17 who competed the previous season and three that were promoted from France's second division Ligue 2.

Bordeaux clinched the title on 30 May 2009 in a 1–0 victory over Caen with a goal from former Caen player Yoan Gouffran. This was Bordeaux's sixth title and their first since the 1998–99 season. Bordeaux's title victory ended a historic run for Lyon, who had won seven consecutive titles beginning with the 2001–02 season. Le Havre, Nantes, and Caen were relegated to Ligue 2. Both Le Havre and Nantes were promoted from Ligue 2 last season. Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse, and Lille all secure European football for the 2009–10 season through their league position.
