Brest v Paris SG: kick-off time, TV channel and Roy tribute details | OneFootball

Brest host Paris SG at Stade Francis-Le Blé on Sunday night, closing Ligue 1’s fourth round with a match framed by a final tribute to late coach Eric Roy. He died in June from pancreatic cancer, three months ago.

According to L'Équipe, Stade Brestois will honour their “King” with a special shirt bearing “King” and a crown by the crest, a 20:35 ceremony before kick-off, players walking out to his favourite song, “Magnificient” by U2, and an ultras tifo.

After a solid start of two draws and one win, beating the reigning double European champions would serve as both tribute and a streak breaker. Paris SG and Paris FC are the only French sides unbeaten against Brest in Ligue 1 for three and a half years, the latter faced only twice last season.

In the Roy era, Brest faced PSG 10 times, Paris won nine with one draw, 2-2 in January 2024. Buoyed by Roy’s memory and the city’s energy, Brest chase a statement result against opponents imperious in Europe, with Super Cup victory over Aston Villa and a Champions League win against Bratislava, yet faltering domestically with two late draws and defeat to Monaco.

Kick-off is at 20:45 on Sunday 13 September at Stade Francis-Le Blé in Brest, live on Ligue 1+.
