Champions League – PSG's league-phase fixtures revealed! | OneFootball

Today, Paris Saint-Germain discovered the lineup of its schedule for the 2026-2027 Champions League league phase during the draw organized by UEFA (available here). We also now know its schedule for this stage of the competition, with PSG’s matches in particular now confirmed:

PSG will be able to kick off its campaign at the Parc des Princes

The schedule first gives PSG an interesting opportunity to pick up points right away. The Parisians will host Slovan Bratislava on September 9 for their opening match in the competition. On paper, it is one of the most manageable fixtures on their schedule and therefore one they absolutely must not miss.

Things will then suddenly step up a level. After that opening matchday, Paris Saint-Germain will travel to Manchester City on October 14 before hosting FC Barcelona just six days later, on October 20. Two major matches almost back-to-back that could already weigh heavily in the race for the top eight places.

Manchester City and Barça in six days

This is clearly the main difficulty of the schedule. Paris will have to navigate Manchester City/PSG and then PSG/FC Barcelona in an extremely short span of time, while also managing its league fixtures. Hosting Barça will nonetheless allow PSG to avoid two consecutive European away trips during this period.

And the schedule will not really ease up after that. On November 3, the Parisians will travel to Villarreal before welcoming AS Roma on November 25. The first half of the league phase could therefore determine a large part of PSG’s European fate: between Matchdays 2 and 5, Paris will successively face Manchester City, Barcelona, Villarreal, and Roma.

An end to the schedule that could become favorable

PSG’s final match of 2026 will take them to England for an away trip to Aston Villa on December 8. Paris will therefore have played five particularly demanding matches between mid-October and early December, including three away from the Parc des Princes.

After the winter break, however, the schedule looks a little more favorable. PSG will travel to Como on January 20, 2027 before finishing its league phase at the Parc des Princes against Galatasaray on January 27. Two fixtures that could give the Parisians a chance to secure their position, even if waiting until the final matchdays to collect the necessary points would obviously be risky.

PSG’s full Champions League schedule

MD1 – September 9: Paris Saint-Germain/Slovan Bratislava

MD2 – October 14: Manchester City/Paris Saint-Germain

MD3 – October 20: Paris Saint-Germain/FC Barcelona

MD4 – November 3: Villarreal/Paris Saint-Germain

MD5 – November 25: Paris Saint-Germain/AS Roma

MD6 – December 8: Aston Villa/Paris Saint-Germain

MD7 – January 20: Como/Paris Saint-Germain

MD8 – January 27: Paris Saint-Germain/Galatasaray

The distribution remains broadly balanced, with four home matches and four away. The real issue lies more in the order: Paris has a manageable start but will then have to get serious very quickly. Taking three points against Bratislava therefore looks all the more important before entering the Manchester City-Barcelona block.
