Nantes kick off their Ligue 1 journey with a tall order, hosting defending champions PSG in the opening week of the 2025-26 season at La Beaujoire-Louis-Fonteneau.
The Canaries will have the backing of their home crowd, but recent preseason outings left much to be desired. With form still shaky and the opposition being one of Europe’s heavyweights, their first hurdle of the campaign looks anything but simple.
PSG, on the other hand, enter the new season flying high. Fresh off their UEFA Super Cup triumph over Tottenham, the Parisians are brimming with confidence and will aim to stamp their authority right from the get-go. All eyes will be on Luis Enrique’s men to see what tricks they pull out of the bag in their opening act.
