The Parisian giants begin their Ligue 1 campaign in tonight’s match.
Stade Rennais will host French champions Paris Saint-Germain in an exciting Matchday 1 fixture of the French Ligue 1 2026-27 season at the Roazhon Park on Sunday, August 23, 2026. The Parisian side will look to get their title defence underway with a win on the road.
PSG have had one of their best seasons in recent memory in 2025-26, overtaking RC Lens to clinch their 14th Ligue 1 title. They also beat Arsenal in the final to lift back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles. Already boasting one of the most fearsome squads in Europe, Luis Enrique signed Maghnes Akliouche, Ferran Torres, and Mika Godts, among others.
Rennes, meanwhile, will look to continue their wonderful run since the appointment of Franck Haise. The hosts have lost just three times in domestic matches during that period, but they will have a tough time maintaining that record against an all-conquering PSG side.
