Ligue 1 – The keys to the opening weekend, starting Friday | OneFootball

On Matchday 1 of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain face Rennes at Roazhon Park this Sunday at 8:45pm. A match that comes at the end of the first league weekend of the season.

Matches:

PSG get off to a strong start in Ligue 1, with a trip to Rennes, who finished the 2025-2026 season brilliantly and will want to make a big statement against a Paris side that is not yet fully up to speed.

Before that, the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season will kick off this Friday with an exciting clash between two clubs in the middle of major upheaval. Olympique de Marseille and Strasbourg have changed coaches and also had turbulent transfer windows in terms of players. The pressure will come quickly, and the first match will be an important step.

There will also inevitably be close attention on Lens’s match against Auxerre on Saturday, because they were PSG’s runners-up last season and everyone is waiting to see what Lens can do this season after a few key departures. Including coach Pierre Sage, who left for Crystal Palace. Dino Toppmöller’s start, with the Trophée des Champions won against Paris, is encouraging. That will need to be confirmed.

Of course, all the matches are worth following, including Nice, who must find a way not to battle relegation right to the end again, and hopefully there will be plenty of positives to highlight on Monday in the debrief.
