Fans of the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will be in for a late thrill this season as the club travels to Lens on Wednesday at 21:00 for a rescheduled Ligue 1 clash that could crown them champions for the 14th time. While the stakes couldn’t be higher—especially ahead of their upcoming UEFA Champions League final—there’s a catch: this high-profile showdown won’t be available on Ligue 1+.
Why this Ligue 1+ blackout is happening
The match between the league leaders and their closest rivals was originally scheduled for Saturday, April 11, at 17:15—a slot traditionally reserved for beIN Sports broadcasts in France. However, the PSG requested a postponement due to a congested schedule that included Champions League fixtures against Liverpool on April 8 and 14, plus three matches in under a week.
The Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) granted the request, shifting the game to May 13. Yet despite the date change, the Qatari broadcaster retained the broadcast rights as per the original agreement. That means PSG supporters will need to tune into beIN Sports to catch the action live, not Ligue 1+.
What’s at stake for both clubs
A victory for PSG in Lens would secure their 14th league title, capping a historic season. If they fall short, the suspense—and potential celebration—will have to wait until their next fixture against Paris FC, while Lens faces Lyon the same weekend. With a six-point lead already in hand, the pressure is firmly on PSG, even if the final outcome feels increasingly inevitable.
