Paris Saint-Germain is set to commence their Ligue 1 title defense on Sunday, facing Stade Rennais. The reigning champions are vying for their sixth consecutive league crown, aiming to start the 2026-27 campaign with a victory.
However, the opening match will not be played at PSG's home ground, Parc des Princes.

This change provides Stade Rennais with a home advantage for the season opener and presents an additional hurdle for Paris Saint-Germain.
