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.

The France Starligue, officially known as the Lidl Starligue for sponsorship reasons, is the premier professional handball league in France. Established in 1952, it has grown to become one of the most competitive and prestigious handball leagues in Europe. The tournament features the top French clubs competing annually for the national title, with teams such as Paris Saint-Germain Handball, Montpellier Handball, and Nantes Atlantique Handball regularly vying for dominance. Known for its high-paced action, skilled gameplay, and passionate fan base, the France Starligue serves as a vital platform for showcasing top talent and developing future stars of international handball. The league operates under the auspices of the French Handball Federation and attracts significant attention both domestically and across Europe, contributing to France's reputation as a powerhouse in the sport.
