PSG - Lyon: how to watch the match on TV and streaming this Monday, October 26, 2026

The PSG vs. Lyon match did not take place as planned on Sunday evening. This clash in the 8th round of Ligue 1 is being played this Monday, October 26, 2026, at the Parc des Princes, in Paris’s 16th arrondissement. The two clubs have the same number of points, and the winner will move into sole possession of first place in the league. Here’s how to watch the match on TV or stream it, from home or at a bar.

What time and on which channel can you watch PSG vs. Lyon?

Kickoff is at 8:30 p.m., according to the official Paris Saint-Germain schedule. The match is being broadcast live and exclusively on Ligue 1+, the channel launched by the French Professional Football League.

Since the 2026–2027 season, the channel has broadcast every Ligue 1 match. There’s no longer any need to juggle two subscriptions to follow the league. Xavier Domergue and Benoît Cheyrou will be on commentary tonight for the big match.

How to watch PSG vs. OL via streaming or on your set-top box?

You need a Ligue 1+ subscription to watch the match. There are several ways to access it. The most direct is the official Ligue 1+ platform, available on computers, smartphones, tablets and connected TVs.

The channel is also available as an add-on through the four major providers: Orange, SFR, Free and Bouygues Telecom. According to listings on the TV-Direct website, it can be found on channel 53 on Orange, 118 on SFR, 37 on Free and 57 on Bouygues. If the channel does not appear right away after you subscribe, restarting the set-top box often fixes the problem.

On the streaming front, Ligue 1+ is also available through Prime Video, with no Amazon Prime subscription required, as well as through DAZN, Molotov, L'Équipe, OneFootball and RMC Sport. For new subscribers, the monthly plan with a season-long commitment is listed at €19.99 per month, according to Culture PSG. One tip: subscribe before 8 p.m., as activation can take a few minutes.

Why is the PSG-Lyon match being played on a Monday?

Originally scheduled for Sunday evening, the high-profile clash was rescheduled by an order issued by the Paris Police Prefecture. Police resources were already stretched over the weekend, with demonstrations announced in the capital and an NFL game at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. The prefecture therefore asked the LFP to postpone the match to ease the burden on security forces.

In a calendar quirk, this Monday evening is also the night of the 2026 Ballon d’Or. For the first time, the ceremony is leaving the Théâtre du Châtelet for London, at the London Palladium. Ten Parisians are among the 30 nominees. Supporters will have to split their evening between two screens.

What’s at stake in this PSG–OL match?

The top-of-the-table clash lives up to its billing. Paris and Lyon each have 14 points going into kickoff, and the winner will move ahead of Rennes to take sole possession of first place in Ligue 1. A draw would leave the door open for the Bretons.

Luis Enrique's PSG, however, will be weakened. Eurosport notes that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé are injured, putting Désiré Doué at the forefront of Paris's attack. Paulo Fonseca's OL also have absentees to contend with. All of which makes the outcome less certain than it might seem.
