Buy Toulouse vs Nice tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Ligue 1 fixture scheduled for the weekend of Saturday 23 January 2027 at the Stadium de Toulouse. The league sets the exact day and kick-off time a few weeks before each round, so the match can fall anywhere from the Friday evening to the Sunday. It is Matchday 17, the first fixture of the second half of the season, with Nice hosting the return game in March.

The last time these sides met on the Île du Ramier, Toulouse ran out 5-1 winners, their biggest home win over Nice in more than two decades of top-flight meetings. That result, and a home record that stands level at six wins apiece, gives this fixture more bite than its place in the calendar suggests.
This guide covers what drives demand, how to get seats, what resale tickets typically cost, where to sit, what hospitality includes and the full home record of this fixture at the Stadium.
Toulouse play in one of French football's most distinctive grounds. The Stadium sits on an island in the Garonne, a short walk from the city centre, and its nickname of "le Petit Wembley" reflects a compact, steep bowl with no running track between the stands and the pitch. With a capacity of 33,150, it fills quickly for weekend fixtures once season ticket holders have taken their seats.
The opponents raise interest. OGC Nice travel with a loyal following from the Côte d'Azur, and a winter weekend in Toulouse is an easy trip by train or plane. Recent meetings have been lively too: the last six games between the clubs in all venues produced only two draws, and Toulouse have won the last two outright.
The timing works for visitors. The first home game after the new year falls on a quiet weekend in the city's events calendar, and the Stadium's short walk from the centre makes it simple to combine with a city break. Buyers after a bigger occasion later in the season can look at Toulouse vs Paris Saint-Germain, though that game sits at a much higher price point.
Toulouse's recent history adds to the pull. The club won the Coupe de France in 2023, and home crowds have grown used to the side competing with the league's established names rather than simply surviving among them.
The city itself is a draw. Toulouse is one of France's great sporting cities, better known abroad for rugby than football, and the Stadium is shared with the region's biggest rugby occasions. A football weekend here comes with a lively old town, a long riverside and a food culture that makes the trip worthwhile beyond the ninety minutes.
Yes. Toulouse sell tickets through the club's own ticket office, with season ticket holders taking a large share of the ground before each game goes on sale. Remaining seats are sold as e-tickets, with a choose-your-seat plan for most areas. For a mid-season weekend fixture, general sale is usually possible, but the better central seats and blocks for groups go early.
Buying resale has three clear advantages. You can secure seats together in the block you want after the club's own allocation has thinned out, you can buy from overseas without dealing with a French ticketing account and you can still find seats in the final week, when club sales for popular areas may have closed.
Every order on 1BoxOffice comes from a verified seller and carries a 150% money-back guarantee if tickets do not arrive as described. There is no membership, loyalty history or French address needed.
Resale also protects you from the timing problem. Because the league confirms the kick-off slot only a few weeks ahead, club sales often open before travelling fans know whether the game falls on a Friday night or a Sunday afternoon. Listings on the marketplace stay open right up to match week, so you can buy once your plans are settled.
Nice supporters should apply through their own club first. The visitors' allocation is sold by Nice to its season ticket holders and members, and anyone who buys resale will be in a home or neutral section, so the colours advice below applies in full.
Five factors move the price for this fixture. Seat location comes first: central seats in the Tribune Honneur Just Fontaine cost more than places behind the goals.
Demand is the second, and a weekend game against a well-supported opponent sits in the middle of Toulouse's range. Timing is the third, as prices can firm up once the league confirms the kick-off slot. The fixture is the fourth: games against Nice cost less than visits from Paris Saint-Germain or Marseille. Hospitality tier is the fifth and sits in its own bracket for the 2026/27 season.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £25 – £40 | Budget-conscious buyers | Corner and high positions with a full view of the pitch |
| Longside standard | £35 – £55 | Most first-time visitors | Tribune Sud and outer Honneur blocks |
| Lower tier / central | £45 – £75+ | Buyers who want to be close to the action | No running track, so lower rows sit right beside the pitch |
| Premium seating | £65 – £100+ | Couples and small groups after the prime sightline | Central Tribune Honneur near the halfway line |
| Hospitality / VIP | £120 – £300+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Lounges and boxes; limited single-match supply |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Resale prices sit above club face value because they give you certainty: the exact block, seats together and delivery you can track. Compare listings for the same block side by side and judge them on block and row rather than stand name alone.
Ligue 1 remains one of Europe's better-value top divisions for matchgoers, and this fixture is a good example. A central seat here costs a fraction of a comparable seat at a Premier League or Bundesliga game, which makes premium seating an easy upgrade for a special trip.
Listings for this fixture usually grow once the Christmas fixtures are out of the way and season ticket holders know which January dates they cannot make. That makes late December and early January the most useful window to compare blocks and prices side by side.
The Stadium opened in 1937 and has been rebuilt several times, most recently for Euro 2016. It also hosted matches at the 1998 World Cup and the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Before choosing a block, study the Stadium de Toulouse seating plan so you know which stand each listing refers to.
Four stands make up the ground. The Tribune Honneur Just Fontaine on the north side is the main stand, and the Tribune Sud faces it across the pitch. The Virage Brice Taton at the west end is home to Toulouse's most vocal supporters, while the Virage Christophe Revault at the east end houses the visiting section.
If you plan more than one trip this season, compare fixtures on the Stadium de Toulouse tickets listing.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribune Honneur Just Fontaine (central) | Buyers who want the classic TV-angle view | Premium | Main stand with dugouts, tunnel and most hospitality |
| Tribune Honneur (outer blocks) | Strong sightlines below premium prices | Mid to upper | Angled view towards one goal; good for watching team shape |
| Tribune Sud | Families and first-time visitors | Mid | Calmer long side with a clear view of the whole pitch |
| Virage Brice Taton | Home supporters who want to sing all game | Lower | Home of the club's ultras; not suited to neutrals or visiting fans |
| Virage Christophe Revault (away section) | Nice supporters with away-allocation tickets | Allocated via Nice | Visitors normally sit in block 23, entering via allée Fernand Jourdant, with gates opening 90 minutes before kick-off |
| Lower rows of the Virage Revault | Buyers who want to be close to the pitch | Lower to mid | No track, so the front rows feel almost pitchside |
Neutral or undecided buyers are safest in the Tribune Sud or the outer Honneur blocks, away from the Virage Brice Taton and the away section. Nice fans holding home-section seats should leave red and black at the hotel. Visiting colours in home areas can lead to stewards moving you, and resale seats are home-section tickets unless the listing says otherwise.
Height matters as much as the stand. Lower rows put you almost on the touchline, while middle and upper rows show the whole shape of the game. Families and first-time visitors usually get the most balanced view from the middle rows of the Tribune Sud.
Families should book seats together in the Tribune Sud or the outer Honneur blocks. These areas are calmer than the ends, sightlines are clear for younger children and the atmosphere from the Virage Brice Taton still carries across the ground. Splitting a family across rows is rarely worth the small saving.
The Stadium's hospitality areas sit mainly in the Tribune Honneur, with lounges and private boxes looking over the halfway line. Most are sold as season packages to local businesses, so single-match hospitality appears mainly when a package holder cannot attend.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Business seat | Couples and first-time hospitality guests | Padded central seat with lounge access, food and drinks |
| Lounge package | Small groups and client entertaining | Pre-match dining in a shared lounge in the main stand |
| Shared box | Mid-sized groups | Private-style space at a lower cost than a full box |
| Private box | Corporate groups | Own room, catering and a direct view of the pitch |
Hospitality at French grounds generally includes a padded seat, food and drinks before and after the match and a lounge that opens well ahead of kick-off. The step from one tier to the next is mostly privacy and position.
Read listing notes closely. Some hospitality tickets carry a named guest, a dress code or fixed arrival times, and a few include parking.
Plan to arrive early if you book hospitality. Lounges typically open well before kick-off, and the pre-match dining is a large part of what you are paying for, so turning up at the last minute wastes much of the package. For client entertaining, a lounge package usually gives a strong mix of comfort and conversation time without the cost of a full box.
Toulouse issue tickets digitally, so most resale seats for this fixture arrive as e-tickets. The delivery method appears on every listing.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile tickets | That the ticket transfers to your phone or wallet before match day |
| PDF e-tickets | That the barcode prints or displays clearly and each guest has a separate ticket |
| Paper tickets by courier | That your hotel or home address accepts deliveries and someone can sign |
| Local collection | The collection point, opening hours and the ID you must show |
Read each listing's notes before you pay, as they state the delivery method and any restrictions. Bring valid photo ID in case of spot inspections at the turnstiles. Charge your phone fully, because a flat battery at a digital gate is the one problem nobody can solve for you.
Getting to the Stadium is straightforward. Metro line B stops at Empalot and Saint-Michel Marcel Langer, around ten minutes on foot, and tram lines T1 and T2 stop at Croix-de-Pierre, about 100 metres from the ground. The Oncopole park-and-ride offers free parking with a match ticket and a shuttle every ten minutes.
Walking from the city centre along the Garonne takes around half an hour and is a pleasant pre-match route in dry weather. After the final whistle, the tram and metro stations fill quickly, so walking back towards the centre is often the fastest option.
Aim to reach the island at least 45 minutes before kick-off. Security screening at the gates can slow entry in the final half hour, and arriving early gives you time to find your block and watch the Virage Brice Taton build up its pre-match display.
The Stadium sits on the Île du Ramier, so every route in crosses the Garonne by bridge. That makes the approach one of the most scenic in French football, but it also funnels the crowd onto a handful of crossings after the match. Agree a meeting point with your group before kick-off in case you are separated on the way out, and allow extra time if you need to catch a train or flight the same evening.

Toulouse-Blagnac Airport has direct flights from across Europe, the UK and North Africa, with a tram link into the city. High-speed trains connect Toulouse with Paris in around four and a half hours, and Nice supporters can fly direct in just over an hour. For overseas buyers, e-tickets are the simplest option because nothing needs to be posted abroad.
The main risk for international travellers is the kick-off time. Ligue 1 slots are confirmed only a few weeks ahead, so book flexible flights and hotels for the Friday to Sunday window. Seats together are always marked; if a listing does not say so, assume the seats may be split.
Nice supporters travelling by road or rail face a long journey along the Mediterranean coast, which is why many choose the short flight instead. Either way, the Friday to Sunday uncertainty applies to visiting fans too, so flexible bookings are the safest choice until the slot is confirmed.
Stay near the Capitole or Saint-Cyprien to keep the walk to the Stadium short, and leave time for the city itself. Toulouse's old centre, the riverbanks and the cafés around Place du Capitole make a weekend trip worthwhile even before a ball is kicked.
Toulouse and Nice have met in every top-flight season both clubs have shared since 2003, and the home record in Toulouse is almost perfectly balanced. Six wins each and nine draws across 21 league games tell the story of two clubs that have spent long spells in the same part of the table, often fighting for the same prizes or the same safety line.
The fixture has produced its share of drama. Nice won a seven-goal game 4-3 in April 2013, and on the final day of the 2014/15 season they won 3-2 in Toulouse to close the campaign. When Toulouse returned to Ligue 1 in 2022, their first home game back was against Nice, a 1-1 draw on the opening weekend.
Nice held the upper hand for a spell after 2017, but the tide has turned. Toulouse are unbeaten in their last four home games against Nice and won the most recent one 5-1 in January 2026. Nice's winter calendar also includes the Riviera derby, Monaco vs Nice, three weeks earlier, so the visitors will arrive with plenty to prove.
The numbers underline how tight this fixture has been. Nine draws in 21 meetings show how often neither side has been able to put the game away, seven more games were settled by a single goal and only five of the 21 have been won by two goals or more. Toulouse lead the goals column by the narrowest of margins, 27 to 26.
The fixture also tracks both clubs' fortunes. Toulouse dropped out of Ligue 1 in 2020 after a difficult season that included a 2-0 home defeat by Nice, and spent two seasons in the second tier before returning in 2022. Nice, meanwhile, have spent recent seasons competing for European places, which has made every meeting a useful measure of how far Toulouse have come since their return.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how rarely it follows form. The widest winning margin across 21 meetings belongs to Toulouse's 5-1 last season, most games are settled by one goal or not at all and the home side has never held a lasting advantage. For buyers, it is an affordable top-flight afternoon with a real chance of goals.
