Get ready for a blockbuster Ligue 1 season. The 2025-2026 calendar has dropped some mouth-watering fixtures — including a historic Paris derby and two red-hot Classiques between PSG and Marseille.
PSG vs Paris FC: A New Capital Derby
For the first time ever in Ligue 1, PSG and Paris FC will face off in a true city rivalry.

- Second leg: May 16, 2026, at Stade Jean-Bouin — just across the street from the Parc
An intense, symbolic derby in the heart of Paris, potentially decisive at both ends of the table: PSG chasing the title, Paris FC fighting for survival or a European spot.
