League matches were due to be played behind closed doors, but an emergency meeting on Friday was held in response to the virus outbreak in Europe.
This comes 24 hours after the French Football Federation (FFF) suspended all football activities in the country from the men's semi-professional third tier as well as all three women's leagues.
A statement read: "Following the President of the Republic's announcement in response to the COVID-19 health crisis, the LFP board of directors unanimously decided this Friday to suspend Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 immediately until further notice.”
"As the President said yesterday, collective interests must be place above everything. Urgency today is to curb the epidemic, protect the most vulnerable and avoid travel.”
"After UEFA's scheduled meeting on March 17, the LFP board of directors will meet."
Ligue 1 becomes the third from Europe’s top five leagues to be suspended after Serie A and La Liga due to the outbreak of coronavirus
