The start of 2026 finds Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille navigating a packed French football calendar. Both sides returned to Ligue 1 action last weekend following the winter break, and now shift focus to a unique showdown that sits between league and cup commitments.

Sandwiched between the Ligue 1 restart and the upcoming Coupe de France fixtures is the Trophée des Champions, a one-off clash that brings together the top forces in French football. The 2026 edition will be played in Kuwait City and will be shown live on beIN SPORTS.

This annual contest traditionally pits the Ligue 1 champions against the Coupe de France winners. PSG claimed both domestic titles in the 2024–25 season, but for this edition they enter as Coupe de France holders, while Marseille participate as Ligue 1 representatives after finishing second last season.

Motivation levels could hardly be higher for Marseille. Roberto De Zerbi’s side come into the match off a damaging 2–0 home defeat to Nantes, a game that also saw two players sent off. A victory over PSG in a Classique setting would provide an immediate response and a major boost.

PSG arrive with confidence after edging Paris FC 2–1 in a local derby, but the Parisians find themselves in an unfamiliar position — sitting second in the Ligue 1 table behind Lens. Expectations remain sky-high, and lifting the first of four potential trophies in 2026 is viewed as a minimum objective.

A Classique with silverware on the line, played on neutral ground and to open the footballing year, adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already fierce rivalry.
