Trophée des Champions – PSG v Lens venue confirmed! | OneFootball

As is tradition, the season in France begins with the Trophée des Champions shortly before the start of Ligue 1. For the 2026-2027 campaign, the match between the league champions, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Coupe de France winners, RC Lens, will take place on August 16, one week before Ligue 1 begins. This Wednesday, the Ligue de Football Professionnel held a draw to determine the stadium, between the Parc des Princes and Stade Bollaert.

The picture for the Trophée des Champions is becoming clearer, and it may finally be played on the scheduled date, which has not happened for quite some time. That is a plus for the organization, even if one may question the decision to give one club home advantage rather than using the more traditional neutral venue. The return to France is still welcome after several years abroad, which is understandable in terms of promoting the image of French football, but also becomes a little frustrating after a while. Not to mention that there have been issues with the organizer on several occasions.

As a reminder, this will not be PSG’s first match of the 2026-2027 season. There is also the UEFA Super Cup (the Champions League winner against the Europa League winner) on August 12 against Aston Villa in Salzburg. Before that, the Parisians will face Manchester United in a friendly on Saturday, August 8, in Gothenburg.
