Paris Saint-Germain already know their second appointment of the 2026/2027 season, after the UEFA Super Cup on August 12 against Aston Villa. As announced by the Ligue de Football Professionnelle, the Parisian club will face RC Lens in the 2026 Trophée des Champions on August 16, with a draw set to determine which club will host this PSG/RC Lens clash.
“To open the 2026/2027 season, the 2026 Trophée des Champions will pit Paris Saint-Germain, Ligue 1 McDonald’s French champions, against RC Lens, winners of the Coupe de France – Crédit Agricole. Following the Board of Directors meeting on June 3, 2026, the LFP will hold a draw tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. to determine which club will host the next edition of the Trophée des Champions.”
This announcement already places PSG in a sense of continuity. Even before returning to action, Paris are already looking ahead to their first official matches, against a strong and popular opponent. The draw to decide the host club adds an unusual element, but the main point lies elsewhere: next season is already starting to take shape on the sporting front.
For Paris Saint-Germain, this Trophée des Champions will above all serve as an initial benchmark. After a season of domestic dominance, the Parisian club will quickly return to a title-defending setting. It is not yet the heart of the season, but it is already a clear sign: Paris will begin again with immediate expectations.
