Wikipedia - LNH Division 1
LNH Division 1, doing business as Starligue and currently known as Liqui Moly Starligue for sponsorship reasons, is the premier men's professional handball league in France. It is administered by the Ligue Nationale de Handball, under delegation from the French Handball Federation. Founded in 1952, it is currently contested by 16 teams.
Montpellier Handball is the most successful club with 14 titles, and the club which won the most consecutive titles is Paris Saint-Germain with 11 between 2015 and 2025.
The champion and the vice-champion are directly qualified for the group phase of the EHF Champions League. The winners of the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue are qualified for the European League. If the winner of (one of) these cups is also the champion, the place(s) are attributed in terms of the Division 1 ranking.
Since 2016, the league has had a title sponsor. Discount retail chain Lidl was the first, paying €1 million per season for the rights (with the exception of the final season, a short term extension signed during the COVID-19 crisis). It was succeeded in 2021 by lubricant manufacturer Liqui Moly.
Each season, the league features a thrilling format where teams compete in a round-robin style, battling for the coveted championship title. With a mix of established powerhouses and emerging clubs, the Starligue offers fans an exhilarating experience filled with high-paced action, skillful plays, and intense rivalries.
The tournament not only highlights the athletic prowess of its players but also serves as a platform for the development of handball in France, fostering young talent and promoting the sport at all levels. The Starligue is known for its passionate fan base, vibrant atmospheres in arenas, and a commitment to excellence, making it a must-watch for handball enthusiasts.
As the league progresses, teams vie for playoff positions, culminating in a dramatic finale where the best of the best compete for the championship trophy. The France Starligue is not just a tournament; it is a celebration of handball, culture, and community, embodying the spirit of French sportsmanship.
