Silverware is at stake in this Le Classique clash in the Middle East, as Paris Saint-Germain takes on Marseille in the 2026 Trophée des Champions in Kuwait City.
This annual match traditionally sees the current Ligue 1 champions face off against the Coupe de France winners, but with PSG having completed a domestic double last season, last term’s Ligue 1 runner-up Marseille earns the right to contest the fixture.
Luis Enrique’s Parisians come into this showdown on a five-match winning streak across all competitions, while Marseille got 2026 off to a losing start with a 2-0 Ligue 1 defeat at home against Nantes over the weekend.
Paris Saint-Germain takes on Marseille on Thursday, Jan. 8, at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. AST local time in Kuwait City, making it a 1 p.m. ET or 10 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, a 6 p.m. BST start in the UK, a 7 p.m. CET kickoff in France and a 5 a.m. AEDT start in Australia early Friday.

How to watch PSG vs. Marseille with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the French soccer action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. Additionally, it can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, providing an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.
