The LFP pulled out all the stops for the 2026 Champions Trophy organized at the Stade Bollaert in Lens between PSG, the reigning French champion, and the Sang et Or, winners of the Coupe de France last May. A spectacular ceremony had been imagined for the occasion, after the final whistle, and the victory of the Lensois against Luis Enrique’s team capsized the public.
However, many Ligue 1+ subscribers were unable to follow the first period of the first match of the French season. “A technical problem beyond our control is preventing some of our users from having access to Ligue 1 +. We are making every effort to correct it as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding”wrote the channel at 9:11 p.m., almost half an hour after kick-off.
The Ligue 1+ error message
Supporters of PSG and RC Lens present in front of their TV, their computer or on the mobile app missed Florian Thauvin’s opening score in the 32nd minute on a cross shot from Matthieu Udol, but also the exclusion of Kyllian Antonio for a tackle on Maghnes Akliouche (39th). The second half was also lively with the missed opportunities of the double European champions in front of Robin Risser, in particular with a big miss from Ousmane Dembélé, before the end of the match marked by the red received by Nuno Mendes for an elbow (97th).
These are Ligue 1+ subscribers who have not followed any preparation meetings of French clubs and who arrived for the kick-off of this Lens-PSG who have not managed to connect to the LFP platform. The identification bug was enough to enrage many followers. The “Oops! An error has occurred” appeared for these users of the streaming service.
