On Sunday, October 25, 2026, Paris Saint-Germain rises to fourth place in the UEFA five-year ranking, powered by their recent successes in the Champions League.

Five-year ranking

Over the last five seasons, Paris Saint-Germain climbs in the UEFA club ranking and now sits in fourth place with 125,000 points. The top ten list has Bayern Munich first (131,500 points), followed by Arsenal (130,000) and Real Madrid (126,500). Inter Milan is fifth (117,000), just behind PSG.

Recent form that explains the rise

Official club results confirm a positive momentum driving the European ranking up. In the three Champions League group stage matches played in October 2026, Paris Saint-Germain registered three victories: - Wednesday, October 14, 2026: Manchester City 2-4 Paris Saint-Germain (PSG scorers: Désiré Doué 13', Ousmane Dembélé 15', Vitinha 32', Maghnes Akliouche 62') - Tuesday, October 20, 2026: Paris Saint-Germain 4-2 Barcelona (PSG scorers: Désiré Doué 38', Lucas Hernández 72', Vitinha 81', Fabián Ruiz 86') - Tuesday, November 3, 2026 remains on the calendar the match at Villarreal but does not yet influence the cited ranking.

These Champions League successes join a string of positive results in Ligue 1: PSG beat Le Mans 3-1 (Saturday, October 10, 2026) and Strasbourg 1-3 (Saturday, October 17, 2026), as well as Marseille 1-2 (Sunday, September 20, 2026). These domestic and European victories contribute to visibility and the points counted toward the continental coefficient.
