The highly anticipated showdown between Olympique Lyonnais (OL) and Association de la Jeunesse Auxerroise (AJ Auxerre) is still awaiting its final scheduling. This is the only fixture yet to be officially determined for the upcoming season.
The French Football League (LFP) confirms that the exact date and time of the OL versus Auxerre clash will be confirmed on Wednesday, August 12, following the outcome of Olympique Lyonnais’ third qualifying round match in the UEFA Champions League.
In the event that OL secures a spot in the Champions League play-offs, the league fixture against Auxerre will take place on Friday, September 4 at 7:00 PM.
Conversely, if Olympique Lyonnais fails to advance past the third qualifying round, the match will be rescheduled to Saturday, September 5 at 8:45 PM.
Regardless of the Champions League outcome, fans can catch the game live on Ligue 1+, the official streaming platform of the league.
Earlier this year, Olympique Lyonnais had formally requested a postponement of its opening Ligue 1 fixture to better prepare for a potential Champions League qualifying playoff scheduled for late August. However, the LFP denied this request, ensuring the match proceeds as planned.
