The forthcoming Classico between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille on Matchday 26 of Ligue 1 2024-2025 could be of vital importance. Indeed, current 1st-placed PSG will host the team currently in 2nd place at the Parc des Princes. On Wednesday, the Ligue de Football Professionnel announced the date, time and broadcaster of the match.

“The full schedule for McDonald’s Ligue 1 Matchday 26 will be announced following the scheduling of the Champions League and Europa League Round of 16 matches.”
We suspected that this championship clash would be on Sunday evening, as it almost always is. It’s now official, the date is set. It remains to be seen what the points difference will be at this stage of Ligue 1.
It’s worth noting that this will be the end of a marathon for PSG, as the international break begins on Monday the 17th. OM will arrive with fewer games in hand, having played no European competition this season and been eliminated in the last 16 of the Coupe de France, while Paris are in the quarter-finals (draw on Thursday).
