Stade Francis-Le Blé holds 15,220 and averaged more than 14,000 per match last season, which makes every seat count for a visit from Lyon. The last meeting here, in November 2025, drew 14,534. Compare every home and away date for Stade Brestois this season with all Brest tickets in one place.
For Brest, this is a chance to extend a strong home record against Lyon. For Lyon, it is the second leg of a demanding week that starts with a Europa League trip to Real Sociedad on the Thursday. For buyers, it is a Sunday evening fixture in a small ground where supply never stretches far.
Capacity is the first constraint. With just over 15,000 seats, Stade Francis-Le Blé is among the smaller grounds in Ligue 1.
A large share is already committed before single tickets go on sale. Brest capped season tickets at 9,500 for 2026/27, including 2,000 for corporate partners. More than 500 fans joined the waiting list during the summer.
Loyal buyers get the next look. Brest's new ticketing system gives priority to season ticket holders, previous season ticket holders and fans who bought at least two matches last season. Only then do the remaining seats move to the wider public at match-day prices.
Brest's recent rise has lifted interest further. The club reached the Champions League for the first time in 2024/25, playing its European home matches at the Roudourou in Guingamp because Stade Francis-Le Blé did not meet UEFA requirements. That run ended in the knockout play-off against Paris Saint-Germain, but it brought a new generation of supporters to the ground.
Attendance figures back that up. Brest averaged 14,474 in 2024/25 and 14,361 in 2025/26. The league's mid-season report last term placed the club among eight Ligue 1 sides filling more than 90% of their stadium.
The visitors bring their own following. Lyon won seven consecutive league titles between 2002 and 2008 and remain a major draw wherever they play in France. This season they also play in the Europa League, with Lyon vs Crystal Palace tickets covering their home league phase meeting with the English side in October.
Lyon arrive with European football again after a top-four finish in 2025/26. They went out of the Champions League play-off round against Fenerbahce in August and dropped into the Europa League, which adds a Thursday night fixture to their schedule before this trip. Alongside their league titles, Lyon have won the Coupe de France five times.
Away supporters have a small section to fill. The away area holds 696 seats. Recent Lyon trips to Brest brought around 450 to 500 travelling fans under close police supervision. Anyone following Lyon across the season can compare Lyon tickets for every fixture.
The Sunday 17:15 slot suits both locals and visitors. It is broadcast on Ligue 1+ and leaves time for travellers to arrive on a morning train from Paris and still reach the ground well before kick-off.
Yes, but timing matters. Brest sell single tickets to the public, using a three-phase pricing model for 2026/27: a presale about a month before each match with the lowest prices, a match-day price once presale stock runs out and a last-minute price adjusted stand by stand.
Season ticket sales for 2026/27 ran through the summer. Renewals opened on 26 May, new season tickets went on sale from 15 to 30 June and more than 5,000 holders had renewed by mid-June. Brest also promise seats from €10 to €20 at most matches, with reduced, student and under-10 prices at all 17 home fixtures, although the lowest prices go quickly for a club like Lyon.
Priority in the presale goes to season ticket holders and loyal buyers from 2025/26. For a visit from Lyon, much of the lower-priced stock is likely to go in that first window. General buyers who wait for later phases usually face higher prices and fewer seats together.
The PSG match earlier this season shows how the timeline works. Its loyalty sale opened on 2 September at 13:00, around 11 days before kick-off, with season ticket holders offered the first seats. Expect a similar pattern for Lyon, with the presale window opening a few weeks before the match.
Sales run online through the club's app and ticketing site. Tickets are stored in the app wallet for QR code entry. Brest also offer a resale service inside the app, where holders can resell, return or donate tickets they cannot use.
Lyon supporters should use their own club's away ticket process for a seat in the away section. For neutral fans, travellers from outside Brittany and anyone who misses the presale window, a verified resale marketplace is the practical route to a seat. Check the listing notes on delivery before you pay, as tickets are managed through the club app.
Five factors set the price of a seat. Seat location matters most, with central seats in the main stands priced above the smaller end stand. Demand is strong for a Lyon visit given the ground's size. Fixture timing plays a part because Brest's pricing rises as each sales phase closes.
Competition context lifts a Ligue 1 visit from a former champion above most home dates in the 2026/27 season. Hospitality tier sits on top, with salons and boxes costing several times a standard seat.
For comparison, Brest's home match against Paris Saint-Germain this season offered season ticket holders seats from €60 in presale. A Lyon visit usually sits a step below that level of demand, but well above a mid-table fixture.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central (Tribune Top Atlantique and corners) | £45 – £75 | Neutrals who want the lowest entry point | The smallest home stand, sharing its end with the away section |
| Longside standard (outer sections of the main stands) | £60 – £95 | Fans who want a side-on view | Good sightlines away from the halfway line |
| Lower tier / central (Tribune Crédit Mutuel Arkéa and Tribune Foucauld) | £80 – £130+ | Buyers who want to feel close to the pitch | Central seats in the two largest stands sell first |
| Premium seating | £110 – £180+ | Couples and small groups marking a special trip | Best central positions near the boxes and salons |
| Hospitality / VIP | £200 – £450+ | Corporate guests and milestone celebrations | Salon, box and club lounge packages with food and drink |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Stade Francis-Le Blé opened in 1922 as the Stade de l'Armoricaine and later took the name of a former mayor of Brest. It sits on the route de Quimper, around four kilometres from Brest railway station. It has been rebuilt stand by stand, with the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa stand rebuilt in 2010 and the Quimper stand in 2022.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribune Quimper | Committed Brest supporters | Lower-priced | Home to the Ultras Brestois 90 and the Celtic Ultras, with 1,105 places. Not for Lyon fans or neutrals who want a calm view |
| Tribune Crédit Mutuel Arkéa | Fans who want atmosphere with a seat | Mid-range to upper-mid | The largest stand at 6,548 seats, also home to the Hermine 29 and Socios SB29 supporter groups |
| Tribune Foucauld | First-time visitors and hospitality guests | Upper-mid to premium | 4,850 seats plus 208 box seats, making it the main corporate stand |
| Tribune Top Atlantique | Budget-conscious neutrals | Lower-priced | 2,021 home seats. Stadium records describe this end as the only uncovered stand, so pack a waterproof in November |
| Boxes (Tribune Foucauld) | Corporate hosts and private groups | Premium | 208 seats across private boxes with hospitality service |
| Away section (Tribune Top Atlantique) | Lyon supporters holding club allocation | Set by Lyon's allocation | 696 seats, sold through the visiting club. Lyon colours belong here only |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should treat every seat outside the away section as a home area. On recent visits, local authorities banned visible Lyon colours in the city centre and around the stadium, so keep scarves and shirts out of sight if you are not in the away end. The Tribune Foucauld suits neutrals who want a good view away from the most vocal home groups.
The ground has grown in stages. An early 1980s rebuild took capacity from under 2,000 to more than 10,000, before the 2010 expansion pushed it past 15,000. The mix of old and new stands gives each part of the ground a slightly different feel, from the tight Quimper end to the broad Crédit Mutuel Arkéa side.
Weather is part of the choice in Brest. November evenings on the Atlantic coast are often wet and windy, so a covered seat in one of the larger stands is worth the extra cost for many buyers. If you choose Top Atlantique, bring layers.
Buyers with accessibility needs should confirm the exact position with the seller before purchase. Wheelchair spaces sit in fixed locations, so the seller needs to confirm the area before you pay.
A new stadium is planned for Brest. The Arkéa Park project at Froutven in Guipavas has faced legal challenges. No opening date has been confirmed, so Stade Francis-Le Blé remains the club's home for 2026/27.
Brest run a wide range of hospitality spaces for a ground of this size. Packages include salons, box seats and named club lounges, with the Carré VIP able to host between 80 and 450 guests.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Salon | Small business groups | A shared matchday lounge space for smaller groups |
| Loges (boxes) | Companies hosting clients | Private box seats in the Tribune Foucauld |
| Carré VIP | Larger corporate groups | A 750 square metre hospitality space for up to 450 guests |
| Club des Légendes | Guests who want a themed lounge | One of the club's named lounges for matchday guests |
The wider hospitality range includes Le Onze, Premium, Club des Étoiles, L'Inside and Carré Rouge packages. Inside the Carré VIP, separate areas such as L'Atelier and L'Amphithéâtre host different group sizes on matchday.
Brest do not publish single-match hospitality prices online. Packages are sold through the club's business team, so resale listings are the quickest way to compare what each lounge includes.
Check the listing for dining, drinks and seat location before you buy.
Brest moved to a fully digital ticketing system for 2026/27. Tickets sit in the club app wallet and are scanned by QR code at the gate.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Club app wallet ticket | Download the Brest app before matchday and confirm the listing names this delivery method |
| Club resale service ticket | Tickets resold through the app move between accounts. Check how the seller will transfer the ticket to you |
| Hospitality booking | Confirm the lounge or box name, arrival time and seat location in the listing |
| Away section ticket | Sold through Lyon to its own supporters, not through Brest. Follow the visiting club's travel instructions |
Check the listing notes for delivery timing and any restrictions before you buy. Bring valid photo ID, because the stadium rules allow identity checks at the gates. Charge your phone fully for mobile entry and turn the screen brightness up at the gate.
Gates open around 90 minutes before kick-off, which means from about 15:45. Only handbags and small pouches are allowed inside, while larger bags go to the bag drop. Alcohol, glass, rigid umbrellas, pyrotechnics and phone chargers are banned under the stadium rules.
Under-16s must attend with an adult. Arrive early to allow time for security checks at the gates.

Brest Bretagne Airport sits about ten kilometres from the city centre. Bus line 20 links the airport to Porte de Gouesnou on tram line A in around ten minutes, running every 30 to 60 minutes between 05:00 and 23:30. Trains from Paris Montparnasse take from just over three hours on the fastest services, with around 13 departures a day. The average journey takes just under four hours, while fares on the lowest-cost services start from around €19 when booked early.
On matchday, tram line A runs to Place de Strasbourg, around 500 metres from the ground. Free shuttle buses also run from Océanopolis and Warspite to Strasbourg Jaurès, starting 80 minutes before kick-off. An extra tram is also added. After the final whistle, the shuttles leave from Strasbourg Jaurès.
Bus lines 17 and 19 serve the Stade F. Le Blé stop but are diverted on matchdays, so check the Bibus timetable on the day. The SB1 shuttle runs non-stop from Océanopolis, while the SB2 calls at all stops from Warspite. Both publish specific timings for 17:15 kick-offs.
Parking near Stade Francis-Le Blé is limited, so public transport is the simpler option. Brest station is around four kilometres away, roughly 20 minutes by bus or a short taxi ride.
Lyon supporters planning to travel independently should read local restrictions before booking. For recent visits, the Finistère prefecture required police escorts for organised coaches and barred non-escorted Lyon fans from the city centre and stadium area. In January 2025, around 60 supporters who arrived by train were turned away before the match.
Brest's Breton derbies are within easy reach of the city, with Lorient vs Brest tickets covering the trip to the south coast at the end of October.
The Breton derby with Rennes comes in December: Rennes vs Brest tickets cover the derby at Roazhon Park.
Brest and Lyon have met 15 times in the top flight at this ground. The home side hold a clear edge. The first meeting in December 1979 ended in a 5-1 Brest win during the club's debut top-flight season. Two more home wins followed in the early 1980s before Lyon claimed their first victory in Brest in 1989.
The modern era has been closer. Three consecutive 1-1 draws between 2011 and 2013 were followed by a 2-2 in 2019. Lyon then won 3-2 and 4-2 in 2021 and 2022. Brest are unbeaten in the last three meetings here, winning two of them, including a 2-1 win in January 2025 during the club's first Champions League season.
The gaps in the record tell their own story. Brest's top-flight spells came in 1979/80, from 1981 to 1988, from 1989 to 1991, from 2010 to 2013 and from 2019 onwards. Lyon spent 1983 to 1989 in the second tier, which explains why the sides did not meet in Brest for most of the 1980s.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the contrast between the two grounds. Brest have a winning record at home against Lyon, yet they have never won a top-flight match at Lyon, which gives the reverse fixture its own tension. Lyon vs Brest tickets cover that return meeting in April.

Visible Lyon support belongs in the 696-seat away section. Local authorities have restricted Lyon colours around the stadium on recent visits, so anyone in a home stand should dress neutrally.
Brest's prices rise as each sales phase closes, so early buyers get the widest choice. Late buyers usually face fewer listings rather than lower prices.
Tribune Top Atlantique is described as the only uncovered stand. For a November evening, seats in the Foucauld or Crédit Mutuel Arkéa stands are the drier choice.
Take tram line A to Place de Strasbourg or use the free matchday shuttle buses. Both drop you within a short walk of the gates.
Yes, if you choose a listing that states the seats are together and holds enough tickets for your party. Larger groups usually find more options in the Crédit Mutuel Arkéa stand, which holds 6,548 seats.
