RC Lens secured their first-ever Trophée des Champions title on August 16, 2026, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at their home ground, Stade Bollaert-Delelis. The victory ended PSG’s four-year stranglehold on the trophy. Lens earned their spot in the match by winning the Coupe de France in May 2026, their first-ever title in that competition. The club’s previous and only other appearance in the Trophée des Champions came in 1998, when they lost 1-0 to PSG under remarkably similar circumstances. PSG entered the match as Ligue 1 champions, having clinched their 14th league title during the same campaign.
