On Matchday 1 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain faces Rennes at the Roazhon Park this Sunday at 8:45 PM. The match concludes the league’s opening weekend.
The matches:
PSG kicks off its Ligue 1 campaign by hosting Rennes—a team that finished the 2025-2026 season strongly and will be looking to make a statement against a Parisian side that may not yet be fully in sync.
Before that, the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season gets underway this Friday with a high-profile clash between two clubs undergoing major upheaval. Both Olympique de Marseille and Strasbourg have changed coaches and experienced turbulent transfer windows regarding their squads. Pressure will mount quickly, making the opening match a crucial milestone.
We will also be keeping a close eye on Lens’s match against Auxerre on Saturday; as PSG’s runners-up last season, all eyes are on how the Lensois will fare following several key departures—including head coach Pierre Sage, who left for Crystal Palace. Dino Toppmöller has made an encouraging start, having already won the Trophée des Champions against Paris, but now he needs to prove that success can be sustained.
Of course, all the matches are worth watching—such as Nice, who need to find a way to avoid another relegation battle that goes down to the wire—and we hope to have some great talking points for Monday’s recap.
