The Paris Saint-Germain - Lyon match, scheduled for Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 8:45 p.m. at the Parc des Princes, remains uncertain due to a new mobilization weekend in Île-de-France. Facing this risk, the Ligue de football professionnel (LFP) has canvassed two clubs to provide a replacement match in the Sunday evening prime slot.

## A backup solution proposed

The LFP has proposed to [Olympique de Marseille](/en/tag/olympique%20de%20marseille) and [Le Havre AC](/en/tag/le%20havre%20ac) to move their confrontation, initially planned for Sunday at 5:15 p.m., to occupy the 8:45 p.m. slot if the PSG-Lyon match must be postponed. The Paris Police Prefecture recently asked the LFP to consider a possible postponement; the League replied negatively at first, while clarifying that it would comply with any decision from the authorities.

## Reactions and practical conditions

Marseille has not yet provided a formal response to the LFP’s proposal. [Bruno Genesio](/en/tag/bruno%20genesio), coach of Olympique de Marseille, said at a press conference that playing at 8:45 p.m. would not pose a sporting problem compared to the initial 5:15 p.m. kickoff, but he noted that the switch could inconvenience supporters who had planned to attend at the original time and might find themselves unable to attend the match at the Velodrome.
