Marseille vs PSG: Kick-off Time, TV Channel and Live Stream Details
Marseille welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Orange Vélodrome on Sunday, September 20, with kick-off scheduled for 2:45 p.m. local listing time in the United States. The Ligue 1 meeting arrives at an awkward moment for both clubs: Marseille are 13th in the table, while PSG sit seventh, far below the positions expected of either side.
Bruno Genesio’s Marseille have endured a damaging sequence, losing four of their past five matches in all competitions. Their one victory came on August 21, a 4-0 league win against Strasbourg, but defeats to Monaco, Paris FC, Rennes and Besiktas have followed. Wednesday’s 4-1 Europa League loss in Turkey was the latest setback, and Marseille have allowed 10 goals during those four losses. Over the five-game run, they have scored nine and conceded 11.
PSG have had their own uneven start under Luis Enrique. They beat Brest 1-0 on September 13 and swept aside Slovan Bratislava 6-1 in the Champions League four days earlier, while draws against Lille and Rennes were followed by a 2-1 defeat to Monaco. Across that five-match spell, the Paris club have registered 12 goals and conceded six. Enrique has stressed that previous results carry limited weight when France’s biggest domestic rivalry takes centre stage.
There is also tension beyond the pitch. PSG’s most committed supporter groups have begun legal proceedings over a prohibition on travelling to Marseille. Local authorities imposed the restriction citing the long record of violence connected to meetings between the clubs’ fan bases.
Marseille will be without injured pair Tochukwu Nnadi and Geoffrey Kondogbia. Genesio is expected to select Jeffrey De Lange in goal, with CJ Egan-Riley, Nayef Aguerd, Emerson and Timothy Weah among the defensive options. Angel Gomes, Igor Paixao, Amine Harit, Himad Abdelli and Pierre-Emile Hoejbjerg could support Amine Gouiri in the projected side.
PSG have no reported injury or suspension concerns. Matvey Safonov is in line to start behind a team that could include Willian Pacho, Marquinhos, Warren Zaire-Emery and Nuno Mendes, with Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha in midfield. Ousmane Dembele, Ferran Torres and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are projected to form the forward line.
Desire Doue remains another important figure for the visitors, with talks under way over a new deal that would keep the attacking midfielder at PSG until 2032. The proposed extension reflects his growing standing within Luis Enrique’s squad.
The recent record favours PSG, who won the last league meeting 5-0 at the Parc des Princes on February 8, 2026. In the past five encounters, PSG have claimed three wins, Marseille have taken one and there has been one draw. That draw was a 2-2 Super Cup result in January, while Marseille’s most recent home success over their rivals was a 1-0 Vélodrome victory on September 22, 2025.
