Lyon have won the Ligue 1 title on seven occasions
Lyon have been included in the Ligue 1 fixtures for next season despite being relegated to French football's second tier because of the poor state of their finances.
In the schedule released on Friday, Lyon have been earmarked to play Lens in their opening game of the 2025-26 campaign - which starts on the weekend of 16-17 August.
Lyon were provisionally demoted in November by the DNGC, the body which oversees the accounts of French professional football clubs.
Club officials, including owner John Textor, met with the DNGC earlier this week but failed to convince the body that the club had improved their financial situation enough to lift the punishment.
