The highly anticipated clash between RC Lens and Paris Saint-Germain, rescheduled from the 29th matchday of France’s Ligue 1 McDonald’s, will take place this Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

The outcome of this match, delayed in the calendar, will determine whether the capital club secures the championship with a game in hand.
Lens vs PSG: kick-off time, venue, and championship stakes
Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens. PSG enters the game as Ligue 1 leaders, holding a six-point advantage over Lens ahead of this rescheduled fixture. A draw would all but confirm the title for the Parisians, as they would still lead by six points with only two games remaining. The European champions, who will defend their Champions League crown on May 30, are poised to celebrate a domestic double if they triumph in northern France.
How to watch RC Lens vs PSG live in France
This high-stakes Ligue 1 showdown will be broadcast exclusively in France on beIN Sports 1.

The service is available as a standalone subscription for around €15 per month with no long-term commitment, or through Canal+ packages that include beIN Sports.

For those unable to watch live, the match will be available on-demand shortly after the final whistle on beIN Sports’ official platforms and the Paris Saint-Germain app, with multiple replays scheduled across the group’s channels in the days that follow.
Why beIN Sports 1 is broadcasting Lens-PSG instead of Ligue 1+
This exclusive broadcast arrangement may come as a surprise to Ligue 1+ subscribers who expected to see the title-deciding clash on their platform. The decision stems from a rotational system shared between Ligue 1+ and beIN Sports. According to the agreement, beIN Sports secures priority for fixtures designated in the season’s “top 10” clashes. With Ligue 1+ having already used its priority slot for the Paris Saint-Germain versus Olympique Lyonnais match, beIN Sports 1 was allocated the Lens-PSG fixture as the next highest-profile encounter.
