Parisian rivals clash not once, but twice in January 2026, igniting a fierce derby showdown in both league and cup.
Already scheduled in Ligue 1, another derby between Paris Saint-Germain and Paris Football Club will take place in January 2026 as part of the Coupe de France.
Absent from the calendars for decades, the PSG vs. Paris FC derby will take place no less than twice next January. It was already known that the match pitting the two Parisian clubs would occur in Ligue 1 on Sunday, Jan. 4, the first outing for the Rouge et Bleu in 2026, but a second clash will take place a few days later.
The draw for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, the second round with the Ligue 1 clubs, took place this Sunday evening, and a new PSG vs. Paris FC derby appeared, once again at the Parc des Princes rather than at the neighboring Jean Bouin stadium. In other words, the two clubs will face each other twice in one week since the round of 16 matches take place on the weekend of Saturday, Jan. 10 and Sunday, Jan. 11.
But with PSG playing the Trophee des Champions against OM in Kuwait on Thursday, Jan. 8, the PSG vs. Paris FC match can't be played before Sunday, Jan. 11, which at this moment is the most likely date for this match.
The complete Round of 16 draw:
- Bayeux (Regional 1) vs. Marseille (Ligue 1)
- Lille (Ligue 1) vs. Lyon or Saint-Cyr Collonges (Regional 1)
- FC Nantes (Ligue 1) vs. Nice (Ligue 1)
