The latest Ligue 1 rescheduling notice and PSG’s official match page show the Monday date and 8:30 p.m. kickoff. PSG lists Parc des Princes as the venue.

What changed from the original schedule?

The fixture was first listed for Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 8:45 p.m. Paris time—CET (UTC+01:00), or 7:45 p.m. UTC. The LFP then moved it to Monday, October 26, at 8:30 p.m. Paris time, or 7:30 p.m. UTC. That is a change of both date and kickoff time: the revised match starts 15 minutes earlier by the clock and one day later.

The league says the Paris Police Prefecture issued an order prohibiting the match from being held on Sunday, October 25 at 8:45 p.m. The LFP says it moved the game to Monday in agreement with Ligue 1+. Its public notice does not explain the underlying reason for the order. No more specific cause should be inferred from the schedule change alone.

This is a rescheduled fixture, not a match with no replacement date. If an older calendar entry, search snippet, or ticket email still shows Sunday, check the current club or league page before making plans. Fans attending should also review their PSG ticketing account or contact the ticket provider for any matchday instructions; the schedule notice does not state ticket-transfer terms.

Why the Paris time zone matters

Paris is on Central European Time (CET, UTC+01:00) on Monday, October 26. The EU’s official 2026 summer-time calendar places the return to standard time on Sunday, October 25, so the Monday kickoff is not CEST (UTC+02:00). The verified conversion is therefore 8:30 p.m. in Paris = 7:30 p.m. UTC. Use the date as well as the time when updating a calendar, especially if you are following from another time zone.

For a quick check, the league’s official match sheet identifies this as fixture 73890, PSG vs. OL, Matchday 8. PSG’s match page says the starting lineups will be revealed one hour before kickoff, so readers looking for confirmed XIs should check that page again closer to the match rather than treating projected lineups as official.

What fans should update after the date change

If you saved the original Sunday fixture, change the date as well as the kickoff time: remove or edit the October 25 entry and save the game for Monday, October 26. A calendar event set to Europe/Paris should display 8:30 p.m. on that date; an event stored as UTC should begin at 7:30 p.m. UTC. Checking the date and time together helps avoid a one-day mistake when coordinating across time zones.

Supporters going to Parc des Princes should recheck the club’s current ticket page, matchday email, and any transportation bookings. The LFP notice confirms the revised date and start time, but it does not say whether an individual ticket, hotel, train, or matchday service was automatically changed. Confirm those arrangements with the relevant provider rather than relying on an old calendar screenshot or assuming a booking is invalid.

For confirmed team selections, use PSG’s match page near kickoff; the club says lineups will be published one hour before the start. Until then, projected XIs and circulating team news should not be presented as official selections.

Where to watch

The LFP’s updated notice lists Ligue 1+ for live coverage. That confirms the league’s announced outlet, but the notice does not establish where the match is available in every country. Viewers outside France should consult the LFP’s international broadcaster directory and the local provider’s schedule. Availability, subscription requirements, and channel placement can differ by territory.

The practical takeaway is simple: use Monday, October 26 as the match date, set kickoff for 8:30 p.m. CET (UTC+01:00) or 7:30 p.m. UTC, and follow the official PSG and Ligue 1 pages for any final matchday changes.
