Final score: Paris Saint Germain 2–2 Rennes

Match preview

Ligue 1 kicks off with a fascinating encounter at the Parc des Princes as Paris Saint-Germain host Rennes on August 23rd, 2026. PSG, entering the season with a clean slate, will be eager to assert their dominance from the outset. While their current stats show no competitive action, the Parisian giants are always expected to challenge for the title.

Rennes, however, arrives with a formidable record from the previous campaign, boasting 16 wins and a strong 50% win rate. Their recent form is particularly impressive, having won four of their last five matches. This sets up a compelling narrative, especially given Rennes' 3-1 victory in their last head-to-head clash. Despite PSG's strong historical record against them, Rennes has proven they can upset the champions. The odds favour a home win at 1.463, though the high draw odds (5.69) suggest potential for a tight contest. Watch for Rennes' attacking prowess against PSG's new-season defense.
