Paris Saint-Germain FC have played 56 seasons, of which 53 have been played in the top division of French football, the Ligue 1. In the remaining three seasons, the club have played twice in the second division, the Ligue 2, and once in the third division, the Division 3. In the 2025–26 season, PSG celebrated their 52nd consecutive Ligue 1 campaign, making them the longest-serving club in the competition. The club played its first competitive match on 23 August 1970, drawing 1–1 away to Poitiers in the opening matchday of Ligue 2. PSG won the Ligue 2 title at the end of the campaign, earning promotion to the top flight. The Parisians made their Ligue 1 debut on 11 August 1971, in a 2–0 away defeat to Angers. Their momentum soon came to a halt and the club split in June 1972, with Paris FC remaining in Ligue 1 and PSG being administratively relegated to Division 3.

After two consecutive promotions, PSG returned to Ligue 1 in the 1974–75 season and never looked back. Since then, the club have won a record 14 league titles, finishing first more often than in any other position. Having finished second in nine league campaigns, PSG have regained the top two places on 22 occasions. They have also reached the top five 30 times, representing more than half of the club's seasons in Ligue 1. PSG's lowest ever finish is 16th, achieved in both the 1971–72 and the 2007–08 seasons, when they escaped relegation on the final day with a 2–1 win at Sochaux.

PSG enjoyed their best season to date in the 2024–25 campaign, winning the continental treble by lifting the UEFA Champions League title, the french league championship and the Coupe de France. They played a record 65 matches, winning 48 of them, and averaged a record attendance of 47,639 per home league game. The club also set several records during the 2015–16 season: PSG collected 96 points, their highest total in Ligue 1, while conceding just 19 goals, and Zlatan Ibrahimović became the player with the most goals scored in a single season, scoring 50. Other notable records across all competitions include the 28 goals conceded in the 1993–94 season and the 171 goals scored in the 2017–18 season.
