Marseille v Strasbourg: kick-off time, TV channel and venue for Ligue 1 opener | OneFootball

Marseille host Strasbourg on Friday in the opening game of the 2026-27 Ligue 1 season.

According to L'Équipe, kick-off is at 20:45, with live coverage on Ligue 1+ 2. The match takes place at the Stade Vélodrome.

For the 11th time in 10 seasons, Marseille begin under a new head coach. Bruno Genesio succeeds Habib Beye after a taxing campaign that still ended in 5th and Europa League qualification.

Strasbourg also start a new cycle with Hugo Oliveira appointed head coach. The Portuguese inherits a heavily reworked squad compared with the side that reached the Europa Conference League semi-finals, with Barco, Emegha and Moreira among the departures.

They have been replaced by numerous arrivals aligned with the club's long-running youth strategy. It remains to be seen whether this new Racing can push higher in Ligue 1 and improve on last season's 8th place.
