The 2025-26 fixture release

Here’s what you need to know about the 2025-26 fixtures.

A first and last… at home!

OGC Nice will enjoy the novelty of starting and finishing the season at home! This gives the fixture list, which has been asymmetrical since summer 2014, a nice retro feel along with its sporting strength.

L1 will kick off on the weekend of 17th August against Toulouse in the Plaine du Var. The curtain comes down on the league season on Saturday 16th May, in the same place, against Metz.
