Each year, the Trophée des Champions final is played abroad at the start of the season. But in recent years, it has posed a few issues—either finding a country willing to host or navigating the dates. This time, the match will be held at the Bollaert stadium, pitting Paris-Saint-Germain against RC Lens. Catch it on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at 8:45 p.m.!
As a reminder, the Trophée des Champions is the showdown between the winner of the Coupe de France and the Ligue 1 champions, a title most years has been held by the same club. For once, it’s not Paris Saint-Germain who swept both trophies last season. It’s Lens, also the league’s runner-up, who enjoyed an absolutely exceptional season! This fixture typically takes place before the season kicks off.
You’ll just have to tune in to the Ligue 1+ channel Ligue 1+ or head to the bars in the capital that will broadcast the match, for this opening high-stakes game of the 2026-2027 season!
