Brest v PSG: kick-off time, TV channel and match preview

Brest host Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday, 13 September 2026, in the fourth round of Ligue 1, with kick-off scheduled for 18:45 GMT at Stade Francis-Le Ble.

The match will be broadcast in France on Ligue 1+, in the United States and Canada on beIN SPORTS, in sub-Saharan Africa on Canal+ Sport, and across the Middle East and North Africa on beIN SPORTS.

PSG have dominated this fixture for more than four decades. Brest’s last victory over the Paris side came on 26 January 1985, and the Breton club have since gone 34 meetings without beating them. That run has also been extended by Brest’s periods outside France’s top flight.

The recent record is even more one-sided. PSG have not conceded in their past four meetings with Brest, including a Champions League play-off double-header two seasons ago, while scoring 14 times. The scale of that advantage leaves Brest facing a difficult test in front of their home supporters.

Brest’s attacking start

Brest arrive with confidence after an impressive victory at Le Havre. Kamory Doumbia has been central to their early-season form, having scored four goals and currently leading the Ligue 1 scoring charts.

The Pirates have found the net four times across their two matches, including Ludovic Ajorque’s equaliser against Toulouse. The transition to Julien Lachuer, who succeeded Eric Roy, also appears to be producing early results.

Paris have faced Rennes, Lille and Monaco in their opening three fixtures, making this a theoretically less demanding assignment. However, Luis Enrique will remain alert after PSG’s defeat by Monaco and an unconvincing return to competitive action.

Ferran Torres has made a successful start, while the expected return of Nuno Mendes could help PSG rediscover the movement and understanding that proved so effective in recent months. Although the champions are not considered to be in danger, they are expected to become increasingly difficult to contain once they find their rhythm.

Prediction and match details

The balance of form and past meetings points towards PSG. Their squad depth, the impact of Torres and Mendes’ anticipated return give Luis Enrique the resources to cope with the schedule and control the match.

Brest can pose a threat, particularly through Doumbia, but the gap between the sides remains significant. The predicted result is a 3-1 victory for PSG.

The match is due to take place on Sunday, 13 September 2026, at Stade Francis-Le Ble. The published odds from 1xbet price a PSG win at 1.30, a draw at 5.50 and a Brest victory at 9.50.
