The season marked the 80th anniversary of professional football in France. In addition, German sportswear company Adidas became the official provider of match balls for the season after agreeing to a long-term partnership with the Ligue de Football Professionnel.{{cite news |title=Puma délogé par Adidas et Uhlsport |url=http://www.sport.fr/football/ligue-1-puma-deloge-par-adidas-et-uhlsport-221916.shtm |work=Sport.fr |date=10 June 2011 |access-date=30 May 2012 |language=fr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140408214712/http://www.sport.fr/football/ligue-1-puma-deloge-par-adidas-et-uhlsport-221916.shtm |archive-date=8 April 2014 |url-status=dead }} To commemorate the 80th anniversary, adidas unveiled an exclusive ball, known as Le 80, for the new season.

Since France dropped from fifth to sixth place in the UEFA association coefficient rankings at the end of the 2011–12 season, the league's third place team, Lyon qualified for the third qualifying round of the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League, having previously been placed in the playoff round.{{cite news |title=UEFA: La France perd sa 5e place |url=http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/04042012/79/uefa-la-france-perd-sa-5e-place.html |work=Yahoo! |date=4 April 2012 |access-date=22 April 2012 |language=fr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120407123553/http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/04042012/79/uefa-la-france-perd-sa-5e-place.html |archive-date=7 April 2012 |url-status=dead }}

Teams

There were three promoted teams from Ligue 2, replacing the three teams that were relegated from Ligue 1 following the 2011–12 season. A total of 20 teams competed in the league with three clubs suffering relegation to the second division, Ligue 2. All clubs that secured Ligue 1 status for the season were subject to approval by the DNCG before becoming eligible to participate.The DNCG is responsible for overseeing the legal and financial accounts of professional football clubs in France. If clubs operating in French football didn't meet the DNCG's expectations, they would face sanctions, such as relegation.

Bastia became the first club to achieve promotion to Ligue 1. The club clinched the second division title on 1 May 2012 with three matches to spare after defeating Metz 3–0 at the Stade Armand Cesari.{{cite news |title=Le SC Bastia champion! |url=http://www.lfp.fr/ligue2/article/le-sc-bastia-champion.htm |work=Ligue de Football Professionnel |date=1 May 2012 |access-date=1 May 2012 |language=fr |archive-date=9 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180709100021/https://www.lfp.fr/ligue2/article/le-sc-bastia-champion.htm |url-status=dead }} Bastia is making its return to the first division after a seven-year absence and is entering Ligue 1 on a run of two consecutive promotions.{{cite news |title=Bastia, sept ans de réflexion... |url=http://www.unfp.org/a-la-une/article/bastia-sept-ans-de-reflexion-02052012-6450.html |work=National Union of Professional Footballers |date=2 May 2012 |access-date=2 May 2012 |language=fr |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121228082248/http://www.unfp.org/a-la-une/article/bastia-sept-ans-de-reflexion-02052012-6450.html |archive-date=28 December 2012 |url-status=dead }} The club had earned promotion to Ligue 2 after winning the 2010–11 edition of the Championnat National.

Reims and Troyes became the second and third clubs, respectively, to earn promotion to Ligue 1 alongside the champions Bastia.{{cite news |title=Football: Troyes et Reims promus en Ligue 1 |url=http://www.20minutes.fr/ledirect/932999/football-troyes-reims-promus-ligue-1 |work=20 Minutes |date=11 May 2012 |access-date=11 May 2012 |language = fr}} Both clubs achieved promotion with one game to spare following league victories on 11 May 2012, which positioned each club in second and third place permanently. Reims, which is a six-time Ligue 1 champion, is returning to the first division after over 33 years playing in the lower divisions.{{cite news |title=Football: Reims et Troyes promus en Ligue 1 |url=http://www.lemonde.fr/sport/article/2012/05/11/football-reims-et-troyes-promus-en-ligue-1_1700261_3242.html |work=Le Monde |date=11 May 2012 |access-date=11 May 2012 |language = fr}} During those 33 years, the club underwent liquidation and had all aspects of the club (its records, trophies, etc.) auctioned off. Troyes is returning to Ligue 1 after spending four years playing in Ligue 2. During its five-year spell outside the first division, Troyes also played in the Championnat National, the third level of French football.{{cite news |title=Troyes une montée en Ligue 1 qui a surpris tout le monde |url=http://actu.voila.fr/actualites/documents/2012/05/11/troyes-une-montee-en-ligue-1-qui-a-surpris-tout-le-monde_2874298.html |work=Voila |date=11 May 2012 |access-date=11 May 2012 |language=fr }}{{Dead link|date=June 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
