Le Mans Football Club (commonly known as Le Mans FC) is a French professional football club based in Le Mans. The club plays in the top tier of French football, Ligue 1; it achieved successive promotions from the Championnat National in 2024–25 and Ligue 2 in 2025–26.
The club was founded in 1985 through a merger under the name 'Le Mans Union Club 72' (also known as MUC 72). In 2010, as part of a rebranding, the club changed its name to 'Le Mans FC'. This transition also involved a move to a new stadium, the 'Stade Marie-Marvingt', which opened in January 2011. The stadium is located within the city's famous 'Circuit de la Sarthe'.
Following the premature conclusion of the 2019–20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club was controversially relegated from Ligue 2.
