L’Olympique de Marseille will open the new Ligue 1 season on Friday 15 August 2025 at 8:45 pm with a trip to Brittany to face Stade Rennais. This opening match, broadcast exclusively on Ligue 1+, was very expected by Marseille fans after fourth place the previous season. Roberto De Zerbi’s team is aware of the difficulty of this first game, given the strength of Stade Rennais, who is competing for the European qualification. Their last game at Roazhon Park ended in a 1-1 draw last April.

OM’s calendar foresees a return to the Vélo-drome eight days later, on Saturday 23 August at 5 pm, to face the Paris FC, newly promoted to Ligue 1. This match, which marks the second day of the championship, will be broadcasted on beIN SPORTS 1. The FC Marseille team will be present to cover this event, promising reports and surprises for this new season.

This season opening is seen as an opportunity for OM to start on good bases, despite a demanding schedule. The performance in Rennes will be an important test to assess the team’s ability to obtain points in a competitive context. The attention of fans and the media is focused on this first meeting, which promises to be exciting and revealing the ambitions of the Olympique de Marseille for the 2025-2026 season.
