Buy Paris FC tickets for the 2026/27 Season and watch the capital's other top-flight club at Stade Jean-Bouin, a 20,000-capacity ground that stands across the street from the Parc des Princes in the 16th arrondissement. Paris FC are a Ligue 1 club again after promotion in May 2025 ended a 46-year absence from the top division, and the move from Stade Charléty to Jean-Bouin has changed what a matchday here looks and sounds like.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
This is a club with an unusual story and a small ground. It was created in 1969 by public subscription, briefly merged into Paris Saint-Germain, split away again in 1972 and then spent half a century outside the top flight. Today it is backed by the Arnault family and Red Bull, it plays in a compact rugby-built bowl and it has turned the Paris derby into a fixture with a pulse. Everything below is built to help you choose the right match, the right stand and the right ticket for the season ahead.
Paris FC sell their seats in stages. When the club opened its first season-ticket campaign at Jean-Bouin, it gave priority to loyal subscribers from previous seasons, then to the previous season's holders and Fan+ members, then to regular spectators who had attended at least five matches, and only after that to the general public. That order makes sense for a club rewarding the supporters who stood by it in Ligue 2, but it means a first-time visitor joins the queue last.
The ground itself compounds the problem. Twenty thousand seats is modest for a capital-city club in Ligue 1, and the club's 2025/26 season-ticket allocation sold out. Once holders, partners and visiting supporters are accounted for, the pool left for general sale on a high-profile fixture can be small, and it can clear quickly when the opponent or the occasion catches the public's attention.
A resale marketplace widens the options. Listings on 1BoxOffice come from sellers whose plans have changed or who hold seats they cannot use, and they can appear for fixtures that show no availability through club channels. Because the club issues tickets in a named format and states that identity checks may take place at entry, read each listing's notes on how the ticket will be transferred to you before you buy, and keep the confirmation details together with your photo ID on the day.
1BoxOffice has operated as a ticket marketplace since 2006, long enough to have seen almost every way a ticket purchase can go wrong and to have built its processes around preventing them. The value is not that resale is always lower-priced than face value, because on the fixtures with genuine scarcity it frequently is not. The value is access to seats when club allocations are gone, combined with protection if something fails.
For a supporter travelling to Paris for a weekend, that protection carries more weight than the ticket price. A trip to Jean-Bouin can involve flights, a hotel and a Eurostar booking, so knowing what happens if tickets do not arrive matters before you commit to anything else.
Demand at Paris FC does not follow the usual pattern for a recently promoted club. Most newcomers to Ligue 1 rely on the visit of a few big names to fill their ground, then spend the rest of the season with empty sections. Paris FC have a capacity problem rather than an interest problem, because a 20,000-seat bowl does not take much to fill in a city of this size.
The club's own growth explains the rest. Paris FC drew a crowd of 17,748 for a Ligue 2 derby against Red Star at Charléty in January 2025, a record for that ground, and the final-day league fixture against Paris Saint-Germain in May 2026 produced the largest home attendance of the club's first season back. The factors below are the ones that move availability.
The practical conclusion is simple. At a ground this size, waiting for prices to soften close to kick-off is a gamble that often fails on popular fixtures. If a specific date or opponent matters to you, buy once your travel plans are fixed rather than hoping for a late release.
Paris FC price their seats by category and by fixture, and resale prices respond to the same two variables. A behind-the-goal seat for a mid-table opponent on a Sunday afternoon sits at the lower end of the scale. A central seat in the Tribune Présidentielle for the visit of Paris Saint-Germain sits at the other end, and no published face value tells you much about where that fixture will settle on the resale market.
The club's season-ticket grid gives a useful anchor. For 2026/27 it was split into twelve price categories, up from five, which means the gap between the lowest-priced and highest-priced seats in the ground is wider than it was at Charléty. The match-ticket market follows that spread, with the main stand commanding a clear premium over the ends.
Timing matters too. Ligue 1 kick-off times are confirmed by the broadcasters a few weeks ahead, and a fixture moved to a Friday or Sunday evening can change who is able to travel. Prices can shift when a date is confirmed, when a result changes the mood around the club or when a cup draw lands a big name at Jean-Bouin.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Ligue 1 (standard fixtures) | £22 – £82 |
| Ligue 1 (high-demand fixtures, including the Paris derby) | Typically above £82, with no fixed ceiling |
| Coupe de France home ties | Usually within or below the standard league band, depending on the opponent |
| Hospitality and VIP | Quoted by package; see the hospitality section below |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
Yes. Paris FC do not run a compulsory membership scheme for single-match tickets, and there is no ballot or loyalty-points system you need to join before buying a seat on general sale. The club does offer a Fan+ membership and gives priority to season-ticket holders and regular attendees during its staged sales, but general sale is open to everyone once those phases have run.
The catch is timing rather than eligibility. For lower-profile fixtures, general sale can stay open for weeks. For the matches people actually plan trips around, the priority phases can absorb much of the available stock, and a non-member arriving at general sale may find the better sections already gone.
That is where the resale market earns its place. Seats listed by holders who cannot attend are often in sections that rarely reach general sale, including central areas of the main stand. Concession tickets for under-12s, under-18s, students and jobseekers require proof of eligibility at entry, so if a listing is sold at a reduced rate, make sure the person using it qualifies.
The French term for a season ticket is the abonnement, and at Paris FC it has become a much bigger commitment since promotion. The 2025/26 allocation, the club's first at Jean-Bouin, sold out. For 2026/27 the club expanded its price structure from five categories to twelve, with renewals opening in early May and general sale following later that month. Holders receive a season card by email before the first home match, can generate an e-ticket in its place for individual fixtures and can lend their seat to someone else.
Two rules shape the market for single-match buyers. Holders cannot change their seat or package during the season, and the club warns that repeatedly unused seats can lead to a season ticket being suspended the following year. Holders who cannot attend therefore have a strong reason to pass their seat on, which is one of the main sources of availability for supporters without an abonnement.
| Category Band | Published 2026/27 Price | Approximate GBP | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category 12 | €200 | £168 | The entry point to the abonnement and the lowest of the twelve bands |
| Category 11 | €250 | £211 | Second band up, still well below the main-stand categories |
| Categories 5 to 10 | From €360 | From £303 | The middle of the grid, covering a wide range of positions around the bowl |
| Categories 1 to 4 | €770 – €1,140 | £648 – £960 | The top four bands, at the premium end of the ground |
Sterling figures are converted from the published euro prices and are approximate. Season-ticket pricing is set by the club each summer and may change for future seasons.
Four stands ring the pitch at Jean-Bouin, and the club names them the Tribune Capitale, the Tribune Présidentielle, the Tribune Paris and the Tribune Eiffel. The ground is shared with the rugby club Stade Français, which has played here since 1995, so some signage around the stadium reflects both tenants. Block numbers and zones are printed on every ticket, and the club's seat map runs from Zone 18 to Zone 145.
| Stand or Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tribune Présidentielle, central | Sightlines and comfort | Upper | The main stand, home to the hospitality areas and press positions, with the classic television view of the pitch |
| Tribune Présidentielle, wide | Main-stand experience at a lower outlay | Mid to upper | Same side of the ground, with an angled view from towards the corners |
| Tribune Paris | A touchline view in a calmer setting | Mid | Opposite the main stand, a good choice for a first visit or for watching the shape of the game |
| Tribune Eiffel | Flexible pricing and a mixed crowd | Mid | Completes the bowl and offers a range of positions across its blocks |
| Tribune Capitale, blocks 25 and 27 to 30 | Atmosphere and organised support | Entry to mid | Ultras Lutetia occupy blocks 27 to 30 and the Old Clan block 25, with flags, chants and standing throughout |
| Tribune Capitale, remaining blocks | Noise without being inside the ultras sections | Entry to mid | Behind the goal and close to the singing, with a more mixed crowd |
The defining feature of the ground is how close the stands are to the pitch. Because the 2013 rebuild removed any running track, even the upper rows feel connected to the game, and a full Jean-Bouin can sound louder than several larger French stadiums. If you are buying for a group, check the listing for whether seats are together, because blocks at a ground this size can fill unevenly.
Away travel in France works differently from England. Allocations are agreed between the two clubs and arranged through the visiting club, but the local authorities in the host department can also impose conditions on travelling supporters for fixtures they judge to be higher risk. Those orders can restrict how supporters travel or, in some cases, bar visiting fans from the area altogether, and they can be issued close to the match.
| Away Travel Factor | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Allocation | Set by agreement between the clubs and varies with the host ground and the risk assessment applied to the fixture |
| Away section | A segregated area with its own entrance, the location of which depends on the host stadium |
| Access requirements | Tickets are issued in a named format and photo ID may be checked; there is no national supporter card scheme in France |
| Local authority orders | Higher-risk trips can carry travel restrictions or bans imposed by the host department, so check before you book transport |
| The Parc des Princes trip | The shortest away journey in French football, across a single street, though it is policed as a full derby |
For neutral or travelling supporters who want to watch Paris FC away from home, the home sections at the host ground are often the more realistic route than the away allocation. In that case, avoid wearing Paris FC colours in home areas and follow the host club's own ground rules, which can be strict about visiting colours outside the away section.
Five supporters can want five very different afternoons from the same fixture. The table pairs each priority with the part of Jean-Bouin that delivers it.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Tribune Capitale, blocks next to 25 and 27 to 30 | You are beside Ultras Lutetia and the Old Clan without being inside their sections, so you get the noise and a better chance of a seat you can actually use |
| Best view | Tribune Présidentielle, central | Halfway-line positions on the main side, close to the pitch because the ground has no running track |
| Family-friendly | Tribune Paris | A calmer stand away from the ultras, and the club offers reduced pricing for under-12s at every match |
| Premium experience | Le Douzième Homme or a box in the main stand | The club's premium lounge and its private and shared boxes are all concentrated on the Présidentielle side |
| Lower-priced option | Tribune Capitale, outside the ultras blocks | Typically the lower-priced end of the ground and one of the easier areas in which to keep a group together |
Stade Jean-Bouin may be the most improbable home ground in Ligue 1, and the reason is its address. It stands at 20 to 40 Avenue du Général Sarrail in the 16th arrondissement, directly across the street from the Parc des Princes. The club that held the Parc in the early 1970s, then lost it to Paris Saint-Germain, now plays within sight of it every other week. Few football cities in Europe have two top-flight grounds this close together.
The stadium itself dates from October 1925, but almost nothing of the original remains. The City of Paris, which owns the site, rebuilt it between 2010 and 2013 to a design by the architect Rudy Ricciotti, and it reopened in 2013 with capacity raised from 12,000 to 20,000. The exterior is its signature: a pale, perforated concrete lattice that wraps the whole building and makes it look more like a modern art gallery than a football ground.
Paris FC arrived for the 2025/26 season. The club announced the move in February 2025, ending its long spell at Stade Charléty in the 13th arrondissement, and the arrangement with Stade Français runs to at least 2029. The reason for leaving was simple. Charléty is an athletics stadium, and a running track puts a wide gap between the crowd and the pitch. Jean-Bouin closes that gap entirely, which is why the move did as much for the atmosphere as for the club's image.
Inside, the bowl is compact, covered and steep enough that very few seats have a poor angle. The Tribune Présidentielle carries the main-stand facilities, the Tribune Capitale carries the noise and the other two stands fill in the corners of a ground that feels full even on quieter afternoons. Food and drink kiosks run around the concourses and the forecourt, alongside club shops.
Getting there is straightforward. Metro Line 9 serves Porte de Saint-Cloud, the closest station, along with Exelmans and Michel-Ange–Molitor, while Line 10 reaches Porte d'Auteuil. RER C to Avenue du Président Kennedy is another option, followed by a walk. Allow ten to fifteen minutes on foot from Porte de Saint-Cloud, longer at peak times. The club warns that bus services are usually suspended or diverted around the stadium on matchdays, so do not build your plans around them.
Parking is limited and fills quickly, with public car parks at Porte de Saint-Cloud, the Parc des Princes and in Boulogne-Billancourt. Cycling is a genuinely practical alternative, with bike-sharing docks nearby and free bike parking on Avenue du Général Sarrail and Rue Meryon. Accessible parking is available at the bottom of Rue du Commandant Guilbaud, with adapted routes to the gates and a welcome team on matchdays.
The area around the ground is residential rather than lively, as you would expect in the 16th. Brasseries and café-bars around Porte de Saint-Cloud handle the pre-match trade, and Boulogne-Billancourt, a short walk across the boundary of the city, offers a wider choice. Most visitors eat in central Paris and travel out an hour or so before kick-off, which suits a ground this easy to reach.
Hospitality at Jean-Bouin is based in the Tribune Présidentielle. For supporters, the club offers a premium matchday product in its lounge, Le Douzième Homme, which pairs lounge access with a seat on the main-stand side. For businesses and groups, Paris FC sell private and shared boxes that include a cocktail reception and drinks, with brand visibility options and a dedicated account contact.
Because the ground was rebuilt in 2013 for a top-tier rugby tenant, the hospitality facilities tend to be better than a recently promoted football club would usually offer. The club does not publish a fixed hospitality tariff, and box pricing is handled through its business team. Expect premium packages for the Paris derby to sell first and at a significant premium over standard fixtures.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range |
|---|---|---|
| Le Douzième Homme | Access to the club's premium lounge with a seat on the main-stand side | Varies by fixture; set by the club or the seller |
| Shared box | A place in a shared box with a cocktail reception and drinks included | Quoted on request by the club's business team |
| Private box | A whole box for a group, with catering, hosting and brand visibility options | Quoted on request by the club's business team |
| Resale hospitality listings | Package contents as described in each listing | Set by the seller and may change with demand |
Buying a seat for a Paris FC match on 1BoxOffice takes a few minutes. The steps below follow the purchase from choosing a fixture to tracking your order.
Step1
Find your fixture
Choose the match from the fixture lists further down, then decide on the stand before you filter by price. The Tribune Capitale suits supporters who want noise, the Tribune Présidentielle suits those who want the view and the Tribune Paris suits a calmer first visit.
Step2
Create an account or log in
Set up your details through the 1BoxOffice register process before you start comparing seats. Your contact details and delivery information are then ready when the listing you want appears, which matters at a ground where good seats do not stay available for long.
Step3
Select your seats
Compare listings by stand, block and price, and check how many tickets each seller allows you to buy. If you need seats together, look for listings that confirm it rather than assuming any group can be split from a larger block.
Step4
Review the listing details
Read the delivery method, the ticket format and any restrictions before you continue. Concession tickets require proof of eligibility at the gate, and tickets for Paris FC matches are issued in a named format, so the listing notes on transfer and entry matter as much as the price.
Step5
Complete payment
Pay through the encrypted checkout. Your order is covered by the 150% money-back guarantee: if the original tickets are not received and no alternative is offered, you are eligible for a full refund and may also receive a credit voucher worth 50% of the order value, excluding fees and taxes, capped at £125.
Step6
Track your order
Use your order number and email address to track order progress at any time. Mobile tickets for French league fixtures are often released close to the match, so an order that is confirmed but not yet delivered several weeks out is normal.
Once your seats are secured, confirm the kick-off time before you book any non-refundable travel. Ligue 1 dates and times are confirmed by the broadcasters a few weeks ahead, and a Saturday fixture can move to a Sunday evening.
Some matches at Jean-Bouin behave differently from the rest of the calendar. If your trip depends on one of the fixture types below, plan to buy earlier than you would for an ordinary league match.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Paris Saint-Germain at Jean-Bouin | The Paris derby carries more than fifty years of shared history, and Paris FC won the final-day meeting at Jean-Bouin in May 2026. A 20,000-seat ground cannot come close to meeting the demand from both clubs' supporters and neutral visitors. |
| The visit of Marseille | One of the most widely followed clubs in France, with supporters across the Paris region. Neutral and travelling interest typically spills into the home sections. |
| Lens, Lyon and Lille | Clubs with large followings and short rail journeys to Paris. Their supporters travel in numbers and neutral demand is strong. |
| Season openers and closing fixtures | The first home match of the season and the final weeks, when the table is being settled, draw supporters who want to be there for the moments that define the season. |
| Coupe de France ties against big clubs | A cup draw that brings a leading Ligue 1 side to Jean-Bouin can create a one-off occasion with little notice, and those ties often sell quickly once the date is confirmed. |
Every listing states its delivery method, and it is worth reading twice before payment, particularly if you are travelling from abroad. The main formats are:
If your listing says delivery will follow closer to the date, that is standard practice for French league fixtures and does not mean anything has gone wrong.
The stadium opens to the public two hours before kick-off, and the matchday box office opens ninety minutes before. Aim to reach your gate at least an hour ahead of the start, which at a ground of this size gives you plenty of time to find your seat and take in the build-up from the Tribune Capitale.
Jean-Bouin has eight main gates, lettered A to H around the perimeter, and your gate is printed on your ticket. The most common mistake visitors make is heading for the nearest entrance to the Metro rather than the one on their ticket, then walking the length of the building to find the right one. Check the letter before you leave the station.
Tickets for Paris FC matches are issued in a named format and the club states that identity checks may take place at entry, so bring photo ID to every match. Concession tickets for under-12s, under-18s, students, jobseekers and groups require proof of eligibility, and a reduced-rate ticket used without it can be refused.
Children aged three and over need their own ticket, and minors must be accompanied by an adult. Mobile entry is the norm, which makes a charged phone essential rather than optional. France does not operate a national supporter card scheme, so there is nothing extra to register before attending a home match.
Security searches take place at every entrance, and the club does not publish a fixed bag size on its practical information for supporters. The safest approach is to bring as little as possible: a small bag or a coat with pockets will pass far more quickly than a rucksack.
Standard French stadium restrictions apply regardless of what is written down. Pyrotechnics, glass, alcohol brought from outside and items that could be used as projectiles are not permitted, and large flags or banners usually need clearance in advance. If you are arriving straight from the airport or a hotel checkout, leave your luggage elsewhere before travelling to the ground.

No other club in Europe has a history quite like this one. Paris FC was designed rather than grown, spent two years as half of Paris Saint-Germain and then lived for five decades in the shadow of the club it helped create. The four eras below explain how a club with almost nothing in its trophy cabinet became one of the more compelling stories in French football.
The reversal was complete within two years. The club that left the split with the first-division place and the Parc des Princes had lost both by 1974, while the club sent down to the third tier was back in the top flight and installed at the stadium. Half a century of Parisian football turned on a members' vote that fell three short. Every derby since 2026 carries that history with it.
This is the period that explains the empty trophy cabinet. The professional team was lifted out entirely in 1983 and given a different identity, and what survived as Paris FC was an amateur remainder starting near the bottom of the national pyramid. For two decades the club renamed itself around national events rather than winning silverware, and everything it has today was rebuilt from that base.
Pierre Ferracci's era took the club from the National to the edge of Ligue 1, and its defining feature was how often it came close without getting over the line. Three promotion play-offs were lost in five years, two of them in dramatic fashion. The women's side, meanwhile, became one of the club's strongest assets almost immediately after the Juvisy takeover, reaching the Champions League group stage in 2023/24 after knocking out Arsenal.
Two years transformed the club's finances, its stadium and its ceiling. Eleventh place in 2025/26 beat the twelfth-place finish of 1973 that had stood as the club's high-water mark for more than half a century, and it came with two wins over Paris Saint-Germain in the same season. The constraint now is physical rather than financial: a 20,000-seat ground shared with a rugby club is a fine home, but it limits how far the club can grow its matchday audience.
| Legend | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jean Djorkaeff | Defender and captain, early 1970s | Captained the merged Paris Saint-Germain side and stayed with Paris FC when the clubs split in 1972. He gave the new Paris FC an international-class leader for its first-division seasons and remains the most recognisable name from the club's founding years. | France international and a link between the two Parisian clubs' shared beginnings |
| Bernard Guignedoux | Forward, early 1970s | Part of the original merged squad and one of the players who stayed with Paris FC after the split. His career sits across both clubs' early histories and is a reminder of how intertwined they were. | A founding-era player at the heart of the 1972 separation |
| Vincent Demarconnay | Goalkeeper, 2008 to 2023 | The defining one-club figure of the modern era. He kept goal through the promotion to Ligue 2 in 2015, the reprieve of 2017 and the play-off campaigns that followed, giving the club continuity through its long climb. | 350 senior appearances across fifteen seasons |
| Gaëtane Thiney | Midfielder and forward, women's team | A long-serving star of the Juvisy and Paris FC women's side and one of the most decorated French players of her generation. She captained the side that beat Paris Saint-Germain 5-4 on penalties after a goalless final in Calais to lift the Coupe de France Féminine in May 2025. | Captain of the 2025 Coupe de France Féminine winners |
| Jonathan Ikoné | Forward, Arnault era | A product of the Paris Saint-Germain academy who scored the only goal when Paris FC knocked PSG out of the Coupe de France at the Parc des Princes in January 2026. The goal gave the club its first competitive win over its neighbour in the modern era. | Winning goal in the 1-0 cup victory at the Parc, January 2026 |
| Alimami Gory | Forward, Arnault era | Scored both goals in the 2-1 final-day win over Paris Saint-Germain at Jean-Bouin in May 2026. The result sealed the club's highest-ever league finish and completed a season with two wins over its rival. | Two goals in the first league derby win at Jean-Bouin, May 2026 |
No retired shirt number is recorded at Paris FC in any of the sources consulted, so none is listed here.
| Competition | Titles |
|---|---|
| Ligue 1 | None. Highest finish eleventh in 2025/26, improving on twelfth in 1972/73 |
| Ligue 2 | None. Runners-up and promoted in 2024/25 |
| Championnat National | None. Runners-up and promoted in 2014/15 |
| Fourth division | Group winners in 1989 (Division 4) and 2006 (CFA) |
| Paris Division d'Honneur | Champions in 1988 |
| Coupe de France | None. Best run a semi-final in 1979/80 |
| Coupe de France Féminine (women's team) | Winners in 2025 under the Paris FC name, beating Paris Saint-Germain on penalties; the 2005 win came as FCF Juvisy |
Paris FC have never won a national championship in the top three divisions or a men's national cup, and it would be misleading to dress that up. The club's honours are lower-division group titles and a regional championship, with the 2025 women's cup win standing as the most significant trophy under the Paris FC name. What the club offers supporters is not a heavy trophy cabinet but a rare story of a founding club returning to the top flight alongside the giant it helped create.
Paris FC have one fixture that the wider football world watches and one that their own supporters feel most deeply, and they are not the same match. Both shape demand at Jean-Bouin, and both are worth understanding before you buy.
The two clubs were a single entity from 1970 to 1972, and the split handed Paris FC the first-division place and the Parc des Princes while Paris Saint-Germain restarted lower down the pyramid. Within two years those positions had reversed, and for almost five decades the clubs barely crossed paths. They met twice in the first division in 1978/79, both draws, and then not again in the league until January 2026. That first modern meeting at the Parc ended in a 2-1 win for Paris Saint-Germain, with home supporters greeting the visitors with a tifo claiming the city as their own. Paris FC answered within days, Jonathan Ikoné scoring the only goal in a Coupe de France tie at the Parc, and completed the season with a 2-1 league win at Jean-Bouin on the final day. Across five competitive meetings, Paris FC have two wins, Paris Saint-Germain one and two have been drawn. For many neutral supporters this is now one of the most compelling fixtures in the French calendar, because the two grounds stand on opposite sides of the same street.
For Paris FC's own supporters, the Derby francilien against Red Star carries a different kind of edge. Red Star, founded in 1897 and based in Saint-Ouen north of the city, carry a strong working-class and left-leaning identity, while Paris FC grew up as a federation-created club with close ties to the Paris authorities. The clubs first met in the first division in October 1972, when Paris FC won 3-0, and rose to Ligue 2 together in 2015. Their January 2025 meeting at Charléty drew 17,748, a record crowd for that stadium, and Paris FC won 4-1. When the two clubs share a division, this is the fixture the Tribune Capitale circles first.
This is not a rivalry in the traditional sense, but it is a fixture with a specific memory attached. A Coupe de France tie between the clubs at Charléty in December 2021 was abandoned after crowd trouble, and the federation's disciplinary commission later expelled both clubs from that season's competition. Neither side progressed. It remains the most controversial match in the club's recent history and a reminder that cup nights in Paris can carry an edge.
The Paris FC men's team has never played in a UEFA competition, and there is no European rivalry to speak of. Across the club's top-flight history, from the 1970s to the 2025/26 campaign, its highest finish has been eleventh, short of the positions that lead to continental football. Any European opponent described as a Paris FC rival would be an invention.
The exception belongs to the women's team, which inherited a strong European pedigree from FCF Juvisy. Juvisy reached the semi-finals of the Women's Champions League in 2012/13, and as Paris FC the women's side knocked out Arsenal on penalties and then Wolfsburg in qualifying in 2023/24 before reaching the group stage, where they beat Real Madrid. Those campaigns, played at Jean-Bouin, are the club's only European football under the Paris FC name.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021/22 | Fourth in Ligue 2 on 70 points, from 20 wins, 10 draws and 8 defeats. The promotion play-off ended in heartbreak as Sochaux won with the last kick of the match. In the Coupe de France, the tie against Lyon at Charléty was abandoned after crowd trouble and both clubs were expelled from the competition. |
| 2022/23 | Seventh in Ligue 2 on 55 points. No promotion play-off was held that season because Ligue 1 was reducing from twenty clubs to eighteen, so only the top two went up. It was a season of consolidation rather than progress. |
| 2023/24 | Fifth in Ligue 2 on 59 points, from 16 wins, 11 draws and 11 defeats. A third promotion play-off defeat in six seasons followed, this time against Rodez. The summer that followed brought the change of ownership that reshaped the club. |
| 2024/25 | Second in Ligue 2 on 69 points behind Lorient, from 21 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats, with 55 goals scored and 33 conceded. Automatic promotion was confirmed on 2 May 2025, ending 46 years outside the top flight. The women's team added the Coupe de France Féminine days later, and it was the club's final season at Charléty. |
| 2025/26 | Eleventh in Ligue 1 on 44 points, from 11 wins, 11 draws and 12 defeats, the club's highest league finish. Antoine Kombouaré replaced Stéphane Gilli in February and secured survival. Paris FC knocked Paris Saint-Germain out of the Coupe de France at the Parc des Princes in January and beat them again at Jean-Bouin on the final day, reaching the cup's round of 16. |
One advantage of following a Paris club is that almost every away trip starts from one of the capital's main stations. The table sets out the 2026/27 league opponents, where they play and the typical direct rail time from Paris, which is useful whether you are following Paris FC on the road or planning to combine a home match with a trip elsewhere in France.

Rail times are approximate fastest direct journeys and vary by service and day. Check the operator's timetable before booking, and remember that a kick-off moved by the broadcasters can change whether a same-day return is realistic.
Choose the fixture, pick your stand at Stade Jean-Bouin, compare listings and complete payment through the secure checkout. Read the delivery and transfer notes on each listing before you buy, because tickets for Paris FC matches are issued in a named format.
The stadium is at 20 to 40 Avenue du Général Sarrail in the 16th arrondissement, across the street from the Parc des Princes. Metro Line 9 to Porte de Saint-Cloud is the closest option, and buses are usually suspended or diverted around the ground on matchdays.
Jean-Bouin holds 20,000, while demand for the meeting with Paris Saint-Germain comes from both clubs' supporters and neutral visitors. With supply that tight, resale prices for the derby typically sit well above those for standard league fixtures.
Delivery timing depends on the format stated in your listing, and mobile tickets for French league matches are often released in the days before kick-off. An order that is confirmed but not yet delivered weeks ahead of the match is normal.
Yes. Paris FC merged with Stade Saint-Germain in 1970 to create Paris Saint-Germain, and the clubs separated in 1972 after a members' vote on the club's name fell three votes short. Paris FC kept the first-division place at first, but within two years the positions had reversed.
