With a European berth already secured for next season following last weekend’s win over Paris FC, Stade Rennais faces Olympique de Marseille this Sunday, May 17, 2026, at the Vélodrome for Matchday 34. A win against the struggling Phocéens, combined with a Lille defeat to Auxerre or any outcome except a Lyon victory over Lens, would propel the Rouge et Noir to third place in the league—directly qualifying for the Champions League. Regardless of other results, Stade Rennais controls its fate: should they avoid defeat against Marseille, they will compete in next season’s Europa League. Live coverage begins at 8:30 PM on ICI Armorique, with kickoff at 9 PM featuring commentators François Rauzy and Flavien Tait, a former Rennes player who experienced the Champions League with the club in 2020.
