The first Ligue 1 match of the season for PSG, the reigning French champions, originally scheduled for August 23, 2026 at the Parc des Princes against Rennes, will instead take place at Roazhon Park due to the poor condition of the pitch at the Parisian stadium, the LFP announced on August 19, 2026..

Paris Saint-Germain’s opening match of their Ligue 1 title defence has been moved to scheduled visitors Rennes’ Roazhon Park ground due to the poor condition of the European champions’ pitch, the French league (LFP) said Wednesday.
“The current state of the pitch does not allow for player safety to be guaranteed,” the LFP said in a statement.
PSG were originally due to host Rennes at the Parc des Princes on Sunday, although the date and time of the match has not been changed.
