The French Professional Football League (LFP) has decided to postpone league fixtures for Paris Saint-Germain and Racing Strasbourg. Both clubs had requested new dates due to their commitments in European cup competitions.

For PSG, the match against Racing Lens, originally scheduled for April 11th, has been postponed. Lens, however, disagreed with the rescheduling, citing a degradation of the domestic league in their official statement.

The outcome of this clash could significantly influence who claims the Ligue 1 title in the 2025/2026 season. PSG currently holds a one-point lead over Lens in the standings, with a game in hand.

Strasbourg also had their request granted; they were set to play Brest on April 12th. According to L'Equipe, both rescheduled matches will now take place on May 13th.
