It is always a highly anticipated moment by the league 1 club supporters, in any case for those of the 17 training courses which are guaranteed to be among the elite next season.
The LFP unveiled the major dates of the L1 calendar, by providing an appointment on September 20 or 21 and February 7 or 8 for duels between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille.
The 1st day program, which will take place from August 15 to 17, has also been unveiled. The Parisian French champion will start his campaign on the Nantes side, when we are already entitled to beautiful posters between Rennes and OM, between Brest and Lille, between Nice and Toulouse, without forgetting the boiling derby Metz-Strasbourg.
For OL, the LFP decided
And Olympique Lyonnais in all of this? The Rhone club was officially demoted in Ligue 2 by the DNCG. But the LFP made a decision with regard to OL, by displaying the Gones still in the calendar of Ligue 1.
Thus, for the 1st day of the 2025-2026 season, we will theoretically have the right to a shock between RC Lens and Olympique Lyonnais. The LFP specifies of course that this announcement is made
“Subject to procedures in progress and any appeals. »» The league therefore leaves OL to defend itself on appeal.
In the event of a confirmed decision, it is the Reims stadium, relegated sportingly after its l1-l2 dam defeat against Metz, which could benefit from it. But the LFP is not yet there.
