Paris St-Germain will host Monaco at the Parc des Princes on Friday, 4 September 2026, with the Ligue 1 champions still unbeaten but seeking their first league win of the season. Kick-off is scheduled for 19:05 GMT in a meeting between two of France’s leading sides.
The match is part of the third round of Ligue 1 and will be shown on Ligue 1+ in France, beIN SPORTS in the United States and Canada, Canal+ Sport in sub-Saharan Africa, and beIN SPORTS in the Middle East and North Africa.
Monaco have developed a strong record in recent visits to the capital. Across the past seven occasions they have travelled to the Parc des Princes since 2020, the Principality club have recorded three wins, two draws and two defeats.
That record underlines Monaco’s ability to compete in Paris rather than simply absorb pressure from the home side. They also won at PSG earlier this year, claiming a 3-1 victory.
PSG’s home fixture comes after two entertaining draws in their opening two Ligue 1 matches. They came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Rennes after scoring an equaliser in the 82nd minute, before producing another late recovery to draw 2-2 at Lille in stoppage time.
The reigning champions had started the campaign by beating Aston Villa 2-1 in the Super Cup, although they then lost the Trophee des Champions 1-0 to Lens.
Despite those setbacks in the league, PSG have not yet been beaten and will now play in front of their home supporters for the first time in this season’s Ligue 1 campaign.
Monaco arrive in considerably stronger domestic form. Under new manager Filipe Luis, who joined the club during the summer, they have won four consecutive matches.
Their European campaign included victories over Gornik Zabrze, with Monaco winning the first leg 3-2 and the second 4-1 to secure their place in the Conference League.
They have been even more impressive in Ligue 1, where they have yet to concede a goal. A narrow 1-0 win at Le Havre was followed by a statement 2-0 victory over Marseille on Sunday.
That perfect start has left Monaco alone at the top of the Ligue 1 table. PSG, by contrast, remain unbeaten but have taken only two points from their first two league matches after conceding late goals in both games.
The visitors’ confidence, their defensive record and their recent success at the Parc des Princes make this a difficult assignment for the champions. With both teams carrying considerable attacking threat, Africafoot’s prediction is a 2-2 draw.
Betting operator 1xBet lists PSG as clear favourites, with a home win priced at 1.36. Monaco are offered at 6.60, while the draw is rated at 5.20.
