It’s official, the 2026-2027 Champions Trophy will be played in Bollaert. Like every year, the meeting between the French champion and the winner of the Coupe de France was supposed to be played abroad. Ivory Coast seemed to hold the rope, and a delegation from the League had even gone to Abidjan to gauge the quality of the infrastructure in recent months. The LFP finally gave up on this idea due to health doubts linked to the women’s Coupe de la Ligue match between OL Lyonnes and PSG (1-0), where players fell ill in March.
The LFP then made the choice to award the reception of this meeting to one of the two teams concerned: Lens or PSG. The draw was made this Wednesday at the League headquarters, and Bollaert was chosen: “the 2026-2027 Champions Trophy will take place on Sunday August 16, 2026 at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis. Following the draw carried out today at the LFP headquarters in the presence of representatives of the two clubs, RC Lens was designated to host the 2026-2027 edition of the Champions Trophy. The meeting will be held at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Sunday August 16, 2026 at 8:45 p.m. The match will be broadcast live on Ligue 1+.indicates the League press release.
