After a 2024-2025 exercise which once again devoted PSG after a royal season, Ligue 1 will resume its rights during the weekend of August 16-17. Always 18 teams, and a calendar that was formalized this Friday by the Professional Football League. With a first surprise with the presence of Olympique Lyonnais, however officially demoted in Ligue 2 by the DNCG. The LFP obviously provides that OL will manage to maintain its place in the elite.
We thus find a Lens-OL on the first day, a match necessarily intense for Pierre Sage, inducted coach of the RC Lens. With above all a first shock between Stade Rennais and OM, an East derby between Metz and Strasbourg, and the trip of PSG to Nantes (if the match is not postponed). Paris FC will take its first steps in Angers. Monaco will receive Le Havre, while Nice will welcome Toulouse. The schedules of these meetings have not yet been defined but the first day will be held over 3 days, on August 15, 16 and 17.
Second time of the revelation of the calendar, the dates of the classic between PSG and OM. We will start on September 21 with an OM-PSG for the first leg. The return will be played on February 8, 2026 at the Parc des Princes.
The third flagship moment of the season, at least in the course that the LFP, the North Derby, between LOSC and RC Lens. The first leg will be held in Lens on September 21 (the same day as OM-PSG therefore) and the return will take place in Lille on April 5, 2006.
