Lens vs PSG: why the Ligue 1 showdown won’t air on Ligue 1+

The clash between RC Lens and Paris Saint-Germain could crown PSG as Ligue 1 champions for the 14th time. Luis Enrique’s side faces a high-stakes showdown in Lens on Wednesday at 9 PM, with the potential to secure the title before the season finale. This decisive match could lift the suspense for Les Parisiens ahead of the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30.
Fans subscribed to Ligue 1+ will need to switch to beIN Sports to catch this pivotal Ligue 1 encounter.
Originally slated for beIN Sports’ broadcast slot
This high-pressure match was initially scheduled for Saturday, April 11, at 5:15 PM, fitting neatly into beIN Sports’ designated Ligue 1 broadcast window. However, PSG’s European commitments complicated the plan. The club faced a grueling schedule with three matches—including two away trips—in under a week, including a Champions League quarterfinal clash with Liverpool on April 8 and 14.
After securing PSG’s request to postpone the fixture, the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) rescheduled the match to Wednesday, May 13. Despite this change, beIN Sports retained exclusive rights to the broadcast, as originally agreed.
A PSG victory in Lens would hand them the championship title immediately. Should they fall short, they’ll need to wait until the final matchday against Paris FC, while Lens takes on Lyon. With a six-point lead already secured, the suspense for PSG is all but over.
