Paris FC have entered a new phase in their history after returning to Ligue 1 in 2025 and securing their top-flight place for a second season.

The modern project has been strengthened by new investment, a move to Stade Jean-Bouin and a squad built to compete more consistently in Ligue 1. This page gives the wider picture of the club and connects readers to the match, league and football coverage that matters as the season develops.

Paris FC fixtures
Paris FC fixtures cover Ligue 1, the Coupe de France and any other competitions the men’s first team enters. The most useful fixture information is the next opponent, competition, date, kick-off time and venue, with confirmed line-ups and match events added closer to kick-off.
For current football scores, fixtures and match updates, readers can learn more about SP Score and its live-match features.
Paris FC began the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season with a 0-0 draw away to Troyes before beating Nice 3-0 at Stade Jean-Bouin.The current calendar also includes major fixtures against Marseille, Lyon, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, making the club one of the more closely watched Ligue 1 stories in the capital.
Paris FC results
Paris FC results show how the club is progressing across the season and give context to the league table, home form and away form. A useful result page should answer the score first, then explain the goalscorers, decisive moments, starting line-ups and what the result changed for both teams.
The opening weeks of 2026/27 offered an early example. Paris FC drew 0-0 away to Troyes before beating Nice 3-0 at Stade Jean-Bouin on 30 August 2026. Lassine Sinayoko opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 21st minute, Samir Chergui added the second in the 51st minute and Vincent Marchetti completed the win in the 89th minute.
Paris FC standings
Paris FC standings change after every Ligue 1 match, so the league position should be read together with matches played, points, goal difference and recent form. That context matters more than a single result because it shows whether the club is moving towards the European places, settling into mid-table or being pulled into a relegation fight.
For current Ligue 1 fixtures and available football markets, readers can also view the SportPesa Global Ligue 1 page.
Paris FC squad
The Paris FC squad combines experienced Ligue 1 players, internationals and younger players competing for first-team minutes. The current group includes Kevin Trapp in goal, Hamari Traoré in defence, Pierre Lees-Melou and Maxime Lopez in midfield, and attacking options such as Ilan Kebbal, Moses Simon, Jonathan Ikoné and Lassine Sinayoko.
A club hub should not try to freeze the full squad in place for an entire season. Transfers, injuries, suspensions and academy promotions change the available group, so detailed player lists and shirt numbers are better handled on a dedicated Paris FC squad page that can be refreshed when the team changes.
Paris FC manager
Paris FC appointed Liam Rosenior as head coach in July 2026 on a contract running to June 2028. The English coach arrived for the club’s second season back in Ligue 1 and took over a squad with higher expectations after survival in 2025/26.
Rosenior’s appointment also fits the wider direction of the club: building a side that can develop younger players while becoming more competitive in possession and more established at Ligue 1 level

Paris FC transfers
Paris FC transfers have become a major part of the club’s modern growth. Recruitment has added more top-flight experience and international quality, while departures have created room for the squad to be reshaped around the demands of Ligue 1.
Lassine Sinayoko joined from Auxerre in July 2026 on a deal to 2029 after a 12-goal Ligue 1 season. The club also confirmed departures during the summer, including Willem Geubbels to Lecce, Mathys Tourraine to Pau and Alimami Gory to Abha Club.
For transfer coverage, confirmed signings, permanent departures, loans and contract extensions should be separated clearly from rumours. That keeps the Paris FC transfer section useful long after an individual window has closed.
Who owns Paris FC?
The Paris FC announcement lists the abbreviated shareholder as “BIS,” but other ownership records identify the company more fully as BRI Sports Holdings. Using the full name avoids ambiguity. The other percentages—Agache Sport 52.4%, Alter Paris 29.8% and Red Bull 10.6%—are correct. Paris FC ownership announcement
The new structure gave Paris FC greater financial backing without erasing the club’s existing identity. Promotion to Ligue 1 followed in 2025, and the investment has since supported the move to Stade Jean-Bouin, recruitment and a broader push to establish the club in the top flight.
Paris FC in Ligue 1
Paris FC returned to Ligue 1 for the 2025/26 season after 46 years outside the top division. The first objective was survival, and the club achieved it before entering 2026/27 with a new head coach and a squad designed to push beyond simply staying up.
Ligue 1 brings regular fixtures against France’s leading clubs and makes every Paris FC result part of a larger race for points, European qualification and survival. For broader French and European football coverage, visit the SportPesa Global football section.
Paris FC history
Paris FC were founded in 1969, when the French Football Federation backed the creation of a major club for a capital that no longer had a side in the top flight. A year later, Paris FC merged with Stade Saint-Germanois to form Paris Saint-Germain Football Club.
That union lasted only two seasons. In 1972, Paris FC and PSG separated, with Paris FC retaining the Division 1 place and the Parc des Princes while PSG continued from Division 3. The split is one of the most important parts of Paris FC’s history because it explains why the two clubs are connected by more than geography.
Paris FC later spent long periods outside the top division, rebuilt around professional and academy structures, and finally earned promotion back to Ligue 1 in 2025. The return ended a 46-year absence and opened the club’s current top-flight era.
Stade Jean-Bouin
Paris FC moved the men’s first team to Stade Jean-Bouin from the start of the 2025/26 season under an agreement running until at least 2029. The stadium is in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, has a capacity of around 20,000 and sits close to the Parc des Princes.
That location gives Paris FC a more central matchday identity than the club had at Stade Charléty. Charléty remains an important part of the club and is now the home venue for the Paris FC women’s team.
Paris FC vs PSG
Paris FC vs PSG is a Paris derby with an unusual shared history. The clubs are linked to the 1970 merger that created Paris Saint-Germain, before Paris FC and PSG separated in 1972 and followed very different paths.
Their stadiums are also close: Stade Jean-Bouin and the Parc des Princes sit only a short distance apart in the 16th arrondissement. The 2026/27 Ligue 1 calendar includes PSG vs Paris FC on Matchday 14. The match is currently listed for Saturday, 12 December 2026 at the Parc des Princes, although the date and kick-off time remain subject to confirmation.
For readers following the other side of the rivalry, the SportPesa Global PSG hub covers PSG fixtures, results, squad and standings.
Paris FC news
Paris FC news covers more than match results. The main stories around the club include fixture changes, injuries, manager updates, confirmed transfers, contract decisions, academy players, interviews, kit launches and developments around the men’s and women’s teams.
For a club that is still building its place in modern Ligue 1, transfer windows, the Paris derby and the progress of new signings are likely to remain some of the biggest recurring stories.
