It’s official, the match between PSG and Stade Rennais which was to launch the Ligue 1 season for both teams will finally be played at Roazhon Park, in Rennes. And not at the Parc des Princes as initially planned. The fault lies with a lawn in very poor condition in the Parisian enclosure.
Stade Rennais also wants to play the return home. In any case, the Breton club has just communicated on this subject, announcing in particular the opening of the ticket office early Thursday afternoon.
The Stade Rennais press release
This Wednesday, August 19, 2026, four days before the PSG / SRFC meeting, scheduled for this Sunday at 8:45 p.m., Stade Rennais FC was summoned by the Competitions Commission and was informed of the impassability of the Parc des Princes pitch.
Taking into account this situation and thus allowing the clubs not to have to postpone the meeting to a distant date, the commission took the decision to reverse this meeting.
Stade Rennais FC, despite the sudden nature of this change, is already implementing all the means in its possession to organize this poster as best as possible with the valuable assistance of the city, the prefecture, the trade bodies usually called upon and its service providers.
Aware and extremely concerned about the consequences of this inversion for its supporters and partners, the club very much hopes to find them at Roazhon Park this Sunday evening and is committed to putting all its energy into welcoming them in the best possible conditions.
At the same time, the club will pay particular attention to the situation of its supporters who had planned to travel to support the team in Paris.
Stade Rennais FC also intends to guarantee this highlight of the French championship for those who are impatiently awaiting the return of Ligue 1.
The ticket office will open to the public from this Thursday at 2 p.m.
All together and despite these circumstances, let’s make this SRFC / PSG the first great moment of communion of the season at Roazhon Park.
