This Saturday, May 30, 2026 is an important day for French sport. On the one hand, the young prodigy Moïse Kouame faces Alejandro Tabilo during the third round of Roland-Garros.
On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain challenges Arsenal, at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest (Hungary), in the Champions League final. Two events which interest the general public and are likely to attract high audiences. Problem: they collide.
Indeed, the 17-year-old tennis player was scheduled in the third rotation on the Suzanne Lenglen court. And this year, unlike previous editions, the C1 final begins at 6 p.m.
Kouame and PSG in clear and… simultaneous
Many viewers complain about the programming of the Porte d’Auteuil tournament. Like Pierre Ménès. “Everyone loses. Moïse Kouame, the spectators, the viewers and the ratings. It was enough to put the tennis match in second rotation. When you don’t touch a marble”, wrote the former Canal Football Club sniper on X.
As a reminder, these two major meetings are broadcast unencrypted. Tennis on France Télévisions and football on M6. On May 31, 2025, PSG’s big victory against Inter Milan (5-0) attracted an average of 11.52 million viewers according to Médiamétrie, with a peak at 13.5 million at the end of the match.
