Buy Stade Rennais tickets for the 2026/27 season. Rennes finished sixth in Ligue 1 last term on 59 points, level with Marseille and one behind Lyon, after a campaign that began badly enough to cost Habib Beye his job in February. Franck Haise took over on 18 February 2026, turned the season around and signed an extension to June 2028 during the summer. Sixth place sent the club back into the Europa League after two years away.

Roazhon Park is the draw as much as the football. Rennes hold 29,778 in a compact, steep ground on the route de Lorient that the club has occupied since 1912, and they filled roughly 93 per cent of it last season with an average of 27,765. All 17,000 season tickets sold out, 94 per cent of holders renewed and by mid-June around 4,000 people sat on the waiting list. Availability is genuinely tight.
The 2026/27 calendar carries a wrinkle worth knowing before you plan a trip. Nantes were relegated last season, so the Derby breton is not on the fixture list for the first time in years. The Breton football on offer is Brest and Lorient, both of which Rennes treat as friendly derbies rather than grudges. The fixtures that will actually sell out are Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, Lyon and the four Europa League nights.
The club's sales sequence is the constraint. Renewals open first, then the waiting list in priority order, then whatever is left reaches the general public. With around 17,000 abonnements against a 29,778 capacity and a 94 per cent renewal rate, the pool reaching open sale is small before you account for away allocations and hospitality.
How small became clear in August. The Paris Saint-Germain fixture on the opening weekend went on general sale at 14:00 on 20 August 2026 and sold out inside roughly an hour, the away section included. That is the pattern for every fixture in the top price band.
A resale marketplace works on the other side of that. Season-ticket holders who cannot make a particular Saturday release their seats, and those seats sit in parts of the ground that never reach public sale at all. The Super U and Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne laterals are almost entirely committed to holders, so for a visitor the secondary market is not a convenience but the only realistic route into the better sections.
1BoxOffice has traded as a resale marketplace since 2006, long enough to have handled every way a ticket transaction can go wrong. At a club where fixtures sell out in an hour the marketplace is not competing on price, it is supplying stock the club no longer has and standing behind the transaction while it does so.
For anyone travelling to Brittany the second point does the heavy lifting. Rennes is around ninety minutes by train from Paris, but a refused entry still costs a day and a fare rather than the face value of a seat.
Rennes are among the eight Ligue 1 clubs the league identifies as running above ninety per cent capacity, and they achieve it without the population of a Marseille or a Lyon behind them. The demand is regional, loyal and heavily committed in advance, which changes how a visitor should plan.
An average of 27,765 against a 29,778 capacity works out at roughly 93 per cent, in a record Ligue 1 season where the division averaged 27,588 at 87.4 per cent and produced 118 sell-outs. Rennes are a top-seven attendance club in a league whose top five are all far larger cities.
The practical consequence is that Rennes has no genuinely quiet fixture. Even a mid-table visitor on a Saturday afternoon draws twenty-six thousand or more, so plan earlier here than the league position suggests and considerably earlier for the four European nights.
Rennes publish no fixture-category grid, so the pricing picture has to be built from what the club charges for season tickets and what individual fixtures have actually sold at. The variables are the stand and the opponent, in that order.
Stand position sets the floor. The Tribune Ville de Rennes behind one goal is the entry-level end, while the Super U and Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne laterals sit at the top of the ordinary range. Opponent then moves everything: a seat that costs one figure against a lower-half side can cost three or four times that against Paris Saint-Germain.
Two observed reference points show the spread. The February 2026 PSG fixture at Roazhon Park was listed between roughly £42 and £176, while the August 2026 meeting between the same clubs ran from around £21 to £103. Resale sits above face value on the top-band fixtures and close to it elsewhere.
| Type of Ticket | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|
| Ligue 1 (standard fixtures) | £20 – £62 |
| Ligue 1 (high-demand fixtures) | £55 – £200+ |
| Coupe de France | £14 – £42 |
| Europa League league phase | £32 – £120+ |
| Hospitality / VIP | £170 – £600+ |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
Yes, though the answer is less comfortable at Rennes than at most French clubs. There is no ballot and no loyalty-points requirement, so nothing bars a first-time visitor from buying on general sale. The obstacle is arithmetic rather than policy: general sale is what is left after roughly 17,000 abonnements and a waiting list several thousand deep have been served.
The waiting list is the club's own admission of the problem. Renewals for 2026/27 opened on 10 June and by the 18th there were around 4,000 names queuing for places that come free only when a holder declines to renew. In 2025/26 that was six per cent of the base plus a thousand new seats, and the quota still sold out.
Concessions apply rather than memberships. The club publishes reduced rates for under-12s, for students and for supporters aged seventy and over, with the under-12 season ticket band running from roughly £83 to £258 against a standard band of £167 to £821. For a single fixture bought on resale none of that applies, and the secondary market is where the seats released by holders end up.
Season tickets for 2025/26 ran from about £167 to £821, the headline range frozen against the previous campaign. The detail was less flat: reported increases exceeded £100 for under-12s in the Crédit Mutuel laterals and around £54 in the Kop, so a stable top and bottom concealed real rises in the junior categories.
The 2026/27 abonnement changed shape rather than price. It now covers 21 matches, the 17 Ligue 1 home fixtures plus four Europa League league-phase games, where the 2025/26 version covered 17. A flat headline price across that change is a meaningful per-match reduction, and it is the main reason the waiting list grew.
| Season Ticket Area | Typical Annual Range (GBP) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tribune Ville de Rennes | £167 – £250 | Entry-level end, the lowest-priced part of the ground, contains the away section |
| Tribune Groupe Rose, lower | £170 – £260 | The Roazhon Celtic Kop, standing culture and continuous singing |
| Tribune Groupe Rose, upper | £210 – £320 | Behind the goal above the ultras, noise without the standing |
| Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne lateral | £300 – £470 | Vilaine side touchline, covered, strong sightlines |
| Super U lateral, upper | £385 – £470 | Elevated touchline, the club's published standard rate around £427 |
| Présidentielle | £700 – £821 | The top ordinary tier, main stand with lounge access |
Ranges are converted to sterling from published euro figures and reflect the 2025/26 grid, the most recent one published in full. They may change as the club revises its pricing.
Four stands ring the pitch and all four carry sponsor names, which change with contracts and confuse visitors working from older guides. The laterals are Super U on the route de Lorient side and Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne on the Vilaine side. Behind the goals sit the Tribune Groupe Rose, which is the home end, and the Tribune Ville de Rennes. Blocks run A to Z, each divided into Haut and Bas.
| Stand or Area | Best For | Price Bracket | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super U, lower central | Proximity and the main-stand experience | £40 – £80 | Halfway line at pitch level, main camera side, covered |
| Super U, upper | Reading the shape of the game | £32 – £58 | Elevated touchline view, the club's headline lateral tier |
| Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne | Touchline viewing at a lower outlay | £28 – £52 | Vilaine side, similar facilities to Super U, marginally lower pricing |
| Tribune Groupe Rose, lower | Atmosphere, tifo and organised support | £20 – £36 | The Roazhon Celtic Kop, standing throughout, restricted view of the far goal |
| Tribune Groupe Rose, upper | Noise without standing for ninety minutes | £24 – £42 | Directly above the Kop, the sound carries and the sightline is better |
| Tribune Ville de Rennes | Families and lower budgets | £18 – £34 | Opposite end, the entry-level pricing zone, quietest part of the ground |
| Block Z, Tribune Ville de Rennes | Travelling support only | Set by visiting club | Away section, entry through Gate 14, roughly 1,200 to 1,400 places |
One thing the price bands do not capture is how close Roazhon Park feels. The rebuild took the ground to just under thirty thousand without adding distance, so even the upper laterals sit tight to the pitch and a ninety-three per cent house sounds considerably bigger than the capacity implies.
Away travel in Ligue 1 is governed by prefectoral order as much as by club agreement, and the host department can impose conditions neither club controls. Allocations run through Rennes rather than the host, and the Europa League adds four away trips with their own UEFA rules.
| Away Travel Factor | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Typical Ligue 1 allocation | Between 800 and 1,500 places depending on the host ground and the risk assessment applied |
| Europa League allocation | UEFA rules give visiting clubs a minimum of five per cent of capacity, so the Juventus, Sparta Praha, Sturm Graz and NEC trips carry larger allowances than a league fixture |
| Access requirements | Photo identification matching the ticket at higher-risk fixtures; France operates no national supporter card scheme |
| Coach-only conditions | Imposed by prefectoral order at the highest-risk trips, and independent travel can be prohibited rather than discouraged |
| Visiting Roazhon Park | Block Z in the Tribune Ville de Rennes, entry at Gate 14, ticket exchange from two hours before kick-off, no dedicated away parking at the ground |
Supporters coming the other way are routed to free park-and-ride sites at St Jacques Gaîeté to the west or Via Silva to the east, both open until two in the morning, then Metro Line B to Cleunay. Private vehicles cannot reach the stadium car parks on matchdays.
Five people buy five different tickets for the same fixture. The table matches each priority to the section that actually delivers it at this ground.
| Priority | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Tribune Groupe Rose, blocks beside the Kop | You sit alongside the Roazhon Celtic Kop without being inside the capo blocks, which keeps the noise and gives you a realistic chance of an actual seat |
| Best view | Super U, upper central | Elevated above the halfway line on the main side, high enough to read both teams and covered against Breton weather |
| Family-friendly | Tribune Ville de Rennes | The quietest end, no standing culture, and the club runs its lowest concession band for under-12s here |
| Premium experience | Présidentielle or a Super U lower-central seat | Main stand at pitch level with lounge access on the premium tier, the product built into the early-2000s reconstruction |
| Lower-priced option | Tribune Ville de Rennes or the Kop upper tier | The two entry-level pricing zones, and the easiest parts of the ground in which to seat a group together |
Rennes have played on this site since 1912, when the club moved from Mabilais to the Parc des sports du Moulin du Comte on the route de Lorient. The stadium was inaugurated on 15 September 1912 and has carried three identities since: the Parc des sports, then the Stade de la route de Lorient, then Roazhon Park from 12 June 2015. The current name came from a supporters' vote in which more than 60,000 people took part over twelve days, choosing the Breton form over Stade des Hermines by roughly seventy per cent.
What stands there now is a two-phase rebuild delivered between 2000 and 2004 with L2 Architectes as lead architect, carried out while the ground stayed in use. The north stand and curved corners came first, then the east and west stands, then an extension of the existing seating with enlarged concourses and premium lounges. Capacity settled at 29,778. The City of Rennes owns the ground and the club are tenants, which is why stand naming rights are sold individually rather than across the whole stadium.
The result is one of the better-proportioned mid-sized grounds in France. There is no athletics track, the stands are steep and the four sides sit close enough that the noise from the Roazhon Celtic Kop reaches the far end rather than dissipating. It has hosted France internationals, Top 14 rugby semi-finals and six matches at the 2019 Women's World Cup, so the facilities are better than the capacity suggests.
Getting there is straightforward but not walkable from the centre. The ground sits at 111 rue de Lorient, roughly two kilometres west of the city. Metro Line B serves Cleunay, which leaves about a sixteen-minute walk. The more practical option on a matchday is the dedicated stadium bus service, with around ten buses running from République in the city centre every five to ten minutes from an hour and forty-five minutes before kick-off.
Regular bus routes also serve the ground. Lines 11 and 14 stop at Géniaux, lines 54, 55 and 56 at Guilloux, with line 10 at Buffon or Porte de Cleunay. For drivers the secured P8 site at Leclerc Cleunay connects by footbridge over the Vilaine and P10 at Pièverdière can be reserved through an application. Around 300 cycle spaces sit near Moulin du Comte and the Leclerc bridge.
Detailed stand and block information for the ground is set out on the Roazhon Park seating plan, and the full fixture list for the venue sits on the Roazhon Park tickets page. Between them they cover the stand names, the tiers and which sections suit which kind of visit.
The surrounding area is residential western Rennes rather than a matchday quarter, so most supporters eat and drink in the centre and travel out. The old town around Place Sainte-Anne is dense with bars, and the train from Paris takes roughly ninety minutes, which makes this one of the easier French away days to reach from London.
The early-2000s reconstruction added premium lounges, and the club sells hospitality through the Présidentielle tier and a set of private and shared boxes. The season-ticket grid gives some sense of the positioning: the Présidentielle band tops out around £821, the club's dearest published seat before hospitality is added.
Rennes do not publish a hospitality price list. Packages are quoted on request and the season-ticket range is explicitly stated as excluding hospitality, so the figures below are indicative of the market for a club of this size rather than drawn from a club tariff. They move sharply for the Paris Saint-Germain fixture and the Europa League nights.
| Package | What It Includes | Typical Price Range (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seat | Padded central seat in the Super U stand with lounge access before the match and at half-time | £170 – £280 |
| Lounge package | Présidentielle seating with a seated meal, complimentary bar and a dedicated stadium entrance | £240 – £400 |
| Shared box | Place in a shared loge with catering and host service through the afternoon | £290 – £450 |
| Private box | Whole loge for a group, with catering, dedicated service and brand visibility options | £360 – £600 per person |
| High-demand supplement | Applied to Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, Lyon and the Europa League fixtures across all tiers | Typically 70 to 150 per cent above the base package |
Prices reflect typical ranges and may change as demand and availability shift.
The process takes a few minutes and removes almost every way a purchase can go wrong. At a ground that sells out in an hour, the two steps people skip are the second and the third.
Step1
Pick the fixture and the stand together
Decide what you want from the afternoon before filtering on price. Tribune Groupe Rose for noise, Super U for the view, Tribune Ville de Rennes for the lowest outlay. Filtering on price alone at Roazhon Park lands people in the Kop, which is a standing section whatever the ticket says.
Step2
Set up your account before you browse
Take a moment to create an account first. Your delivery address and contact details are then stored ready for the moment a listing appears, and the account is what your order confirmation and any mobile transfer instructions attach to. At this club the seats you want do not sit unsold.
Step3
Confirm the quantity the listing allows
Sellers group their seats and those groupings are not always divisible. A pair out of a block of four may not be releasable, and a group of six is rarely seated in one continuous row here. Read what the listing permits before committing rather than assuming any number can be split out of it.
Step4
Read the delivery method and the gate
Rennes ticketing has been fully digital since the 2025/26 campaign, so most listings resolve to an e-ticket or a mobile pass rather than paper. Your entry gate is tied to your block, and blocks run A to Z with Haut and Bas tiers. Both details matter on the day.
Step5
Complete payment in pounds
Payment is taken in pounds sterling, so there is no currency conversion at your end and no foreign transaction fee from your bank. The total shown at the payment stage includes the marketplace fee and any delivery charge, with nothing added afterwards. Card details pass through an encrypted gateway.
Step6
Keep the confirmation retrievable
The confirmation email carries the order number you will need if anything about the fixture changes, and with four Europa League nights in the calendar something usually does. Save it to your phone rather than leaving it in an inbox you can only reach from a laptop.
Step7
Watch for the kick-off slot moving
Ligue 1 fixtures run from Friday evening to Sunday evening and the broadcaster confirms the final slot roughly four to five weeks ahead. European weeks also push league games to the Sunday. Confirm the time before booking non-refundable travel, particularly if you are returning to Paris the same night.
Step8
Follow the order through to delivery
You can track order progress at any point using your order number, email address and surname. Mobile tickets for Ligue 1 typically release in the final week rather than immediately after purchase, so an order confirmed but undelivered a month out is entirely normal.
With the ticket secured, the remaining variable is the journey out to Cleunay. Take the stadium shuttle from République rather than the metro, because it drops you far closer than the sixteen-minute walk from the station.
Five categories behave differently from the rest of the calendar. If your trip depends on any of them, book considerably earlier than you would elsewhere in Ligue 1.
| Fixture Type | Why It Moves Fast |
|---|---|
| Europa League home nights | Four league-phase fixtures against Olympiacos, Dinamo Zagreb, Omonia Nicosia and OFI Crete. European football returned after a two-year absence and the 2026/27 season ticket bundles all four, which strips them out of general sale before it opens. |
| Paris Saint-Germain | The fixture that produced the club's only major trophy since 1971, won on penalties at the Stade de France in 2019 after Mbappé was sent off. The August 2026 league meeting sold out to the public in roughly an hour. |
| Marseille and Lyon | The two visiting supports that fill their allocation and generate the strongest neutral demand. Both push the laterals to the top of the ordinary price band. |
| Brest and Lorient | The only Breton derbies left on the league calendar now that Nantes have been relegated. Neither carries the hostility of the Nantes fixture but both draw a full house and a regional crowd. |
| The closing fixtures | Rennes have finished fourth, fourth, tenth, twelfth and sixth in the last five seasons, so the European places are usually still live in May. Late-season home games against direct competitors move quickly once the table tightens. |
Every listing states its own delivery method, and it is the detail most worth reading twice before payment, particularly if you are travelling from abroad without access to a printer.
Turnstiles at Roazhon Park have typically opened around ninety minutes before kick-off, with the away section and its ticket exchange operating from two hours out. Aim to be at your gate an hour before the whistle. Rennes publish no general gate-opening time that can be verified from a club document, so treat ninety minutes as the working norm rather than a guarantee.
Arriving early also buys the part of a Rennes matchday worth seeing. The Roazhon Celtic Kop builds its display in the last quarter of an hour, and on the European nights the tifo is finished before the players are out.
France operates no national supporter card scheme, so there is nothing to register for in advance. Photo identification matching the name on the ticket can be requested at higher-risk fixtures and for concession tickets, so bring a passport or national identity card if you are travelling from abroad. Rennes publish no ID policy of their own, which means the safe assumption is that documentation may be asked for.
Entry is digital and a charged phone is a requirement rather than a convenience. The barcode on a mobile pass refreshes on a timer, so screenshots, photographs of a screen and printouts of a phone display all fail at the turnstile. If your listing resolves to a printed PDF instead, bring the paper.
Rennes publish no numerical bag size limit and no itemised prohibited-items list in any club document. That is a genuine gap rather than an oversight in this guide, and the sensible approach is to bring as little as possible rather than rely on a dimension found elsewhere.
Standard French stadium restrictions apply regardless of what is written down: no bottles, no alcohol brought in from outside, no pyrotechnics and no large bags through the search. A small bag will pass. Anything approaching rucksack size is a risk you do not need to take when there is no left-luggage facility on the route from the metro.

Rennes have been in the top division continuously since 1994 and have won three major trophies in 125 years. Permanence without silverware is the club's defining characteristic, and the four eras below explain how it came about.
Rennes began as a students' athletics society that lost its first football match by six goals to the other club in town, and its defining early act was to absorb that rival three years later. The 1904 merger produced both the name and the colours. Two wartime honours in 1916 and 1917 were the only silverware of the period, and the two interwar Coupe de France finals both ended in defeat without a goal scored.
The middle of the century belonged to one man. Jean Prouff had already played nearly two hundred games for Rennes when he returned as coach in 1964, and within a year he had delivered the first Coupe de France in the club's history. Six years later he won it again, André Guy's contested penalty settling the last final played at Colombes. What followed was three decades of instability: relegation in 1975, receivership in 1978, a 7-0 humiliation at Nantes in 1984 that supporters have never forgotten, then second-division titles in 1956 and 1983 that only restored what had already been lost.
Rennes spent the early 1990s in the lift, saved once by other clubs' administrative demotions before going down anyway. The arrival of Breton retail billionaire François Pinault, sponsor from 1993 and owner through Artémis from 1998, ended that permanently. His first instinct was to spend on players and the results were poor; the money that worked went into the ground and into an academy that became one of the finest in France. What the era did not produce was a trophy, and losing two Coupe de France finals to Guingamp was its particular humiliation.
Modern Rennes was made on 27 April 2019. A side two goals down inside 22 minutes to Neymar and Dani Alves came back through a Kimpembe own goal and a Mexer header, then won the Coupe de France on penalties. Third place in the shortened 2019/20 season took the club into the Champions League for the first time, where a group with Chelsea and Sevilla produced two points and a hard education. What has sustained Rennes since is the selling: Dembélé, Camavinga, Doué and Jacquet, a pipeline that funds a club competing permanently above its natural weight.
| Legend | Role | Contribution | Milestones |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jean Prouff | Forward and midfielder, then manager, 1933 to 1952 and 1964 to 1972 | The most important figure in the club's history in either capacity. He played nearly two hundred games before returning as coach and delivering both of the club's twentieth-century trophies, introducing a 4-2-4 that made Rennes one of the more watchable sides in France. | 191 matches and 45 goals as a player; Coupe de France 1965 and 1971 as manager; 17 France caps; named the club's coach of the century in 2001 |
| Yves Boutet | Centre-back and captain, 1955 to 1967 | Holder of the club appearance record across twelve seasons, and captain of the side that won the first Coupe de France. He scored exactly once, against Rouen in November 1965, in nearly four hundred competitive matches. | 394 appearances in competitive football, the club record; Coupe de France 1965 as captain; Division 2 champion 1956 |
| Jean Grumellon | Forward, 1947 to 1952 and 1954 to 1956 | The club's all-time leading scorer by a distance, at a rate no Rennes forward has approached since. He scored 31 in the 1947/48 season alone and finished as the French championship's top scorer in 1950, earning France caps while at the club. | 154 goals in 244 matches, the club record; 107 of them in the top flight; 10 France caps and 5 goals |
| Marcel Loncle | Attacking midfielder, 1962 to 1966 | A short career at Rennes but a decisive one. He scored in the 1965 Coupe de France final replay against Sedan, the goal that ended a forty-three-year wait, and won both of his France caps that same year as a Rennes player. | 156 matches and 37 goals; Coupe de France 1965; 2 France caps. He died in January 2026 |
| Laurent Pokou | Striker, 1973 to 1977 and 1978 | The great import of the difficult 1970s and the finest goals-per-game record of any significant Rennes forward. Nicknamed the Duke of Brittany, he arrived from ASEC Abidjan having twice been the Africa Cup of Nations top scorer, and his 14-goal record in that competition stood for almost forty years. | 52 goals in 82 matches, including 17 in 12 second-division games in 1975/76 before a knee injury |
| Romain Danzé | Right-back and captain, academy from 2001, professional 2006 to 2019 | Eighteen years at one club and the only player to have his number retired. He captained the side from 2012 and lost three finals across 2009, 2013 and 2014 before winning the Coupe de France in 2019 in his final season. | 376 appearances across all competitions, second only to Boutet, and 323 in Ligue 1; shirt 29 retired in June 2019 |
| Benjamin Bourigeaud | Midfielder, 2017 to 2024 | The defining player of the club's European decade and its most-capped midfielder. He played in six consecutive continental campaigns, scored a hat-trick against AC Milan and was the last member of the 2019 cup-winning side still at the club when he left for Al-Duhail. | 311 appearances, 66 goals and 63 assists, seventh in the club's all-time list; Coupe de France 2019 |
Two clarifications on names often attached to the club. Sylvain Wiltord came through the academy and had a second spell from 2007, but his golden boot and his league title were won at Bordeaux, and he won nothing at Rennes. Petr Čech, Ousmane Dembélé and Eduardo Camavinga were all outstanding and all brief: two seasons, one season and a handful of starts respectively, none of them with a trophy. They belong to the selling story rather than the legends list.
| Competition | Titles |
|---|---|
| Coupe de France | 3 (1965, 1971, 2019). Runners-up in 1922, 1935, 2009 and 2014 |
| Division 2 | 2 (1956, 1983), though English-language records list neither and the club's own site could not be reached to settle it |
| Challenge des Champions | 1 shared (1971, 2-2 with Marseille, both clubs declared winners after a pitch invasion stopped the shootout) |
| Coupe Gambardella | 4 (1973, 2003, 2008, 2025) |
| UEFA Intertoto Cup | Finalists 1999, beaten by Juventus |
| Coupe de la Ligue | Runners-up 2013 |
| Ligue 1 | None. Best finish third in 2019/20, in a season curtailed after 28 matches |
Two counts need qualifying rather than quoting flat. The 1971 Challenge des Champions is routinely listed as a win but it was a shared trophy: early reports had Marseille taking it on a coin toss before the decision was corrected and both clubs declared winners. And the third place of 2019/20 came in a season stopped after 28 of 38 rounds, which is why the finest finish over a completed campaign remains fourth, achieved most recently in 2021/22 and 2022/23.
The Gambardella record is the one that explains the club. Four national under-19 titles, the most recent a 3-2 win over Dijon at the Stade de France in May 2025, from an academy that has produced Dembélé, Camavinga, Doué and Jacquet. Rennes have never won Ligue 1 and no source should be allowed to imply otherwise.
Rennes have one genuine rivalry, one bitter one that has migrated to the second tier and two Breton fixtures that are cordial rather than hostile. The 2026/27 calendar happens to contain only the cordial ones.
The Derby breton is a fight about which city is the real capital of Brittany. Rennes has been the administrative capital since 1561; Nantes was the great city of the historic Duchy and is no longer administratively part of Brittany at all, which is exactly why its supporters insist on the Breton identity hardest. The clubs first met in the Coupe de France in January 1950, on neutral ground in Brest. Across more than a hundred meetings Nantes lead the all-time series by roughly eight or nine wins, and the modern wound is the 7-0 Coupe de France defeat of February 1984 that Rennes supporters read as deliberate humiliation. The relationship was fraternal for decades and turned genuinely hostile in the early 2000s, fought out between the Roazhon Celtic Kop and the Brigade Loire. Nantes were relegated in 2025/26, finishing seventeenth, so the derby is not on the 2026/27 fixture list. The last meeting was 26 April 2026 at Roazhon Park, won 2-1 by Rennes.
The one nobody outside Brittany expects, and the one that has actually cost Rennes silverware. Known as le Celtico, it sets the Breton metropolis against a town of around eight thousand people, and Guingamp have twice beaten Rennes in a Coupe de France final: 2-1 in May 2009 as a second-tier club, then 2-0 in 2014 from Ligue 1. Guingamp lead the modern head-to-head 11 wins to 8 with 5 draws. They are in Ligue 2 for 2026/27 and have not met Rennes in the league since 2018/19, so like the Nantes fixture this one exists only in the cups for now.
The two Breton derbies that survive on the league calendar, and both are friendly by the standards of the genre. French records describe the Brest fixture as perhaps the most cordial Breton derby of all, two clubs content to both represent the region, and Rennes lead the modern series 10 wins to 3. Lorient is warmer still, nineteen shared seasons including eleven consecutive Ligue 1 campaigns from 2006, with the modern record at 15 wins to 12 in Rennes' favour. The one genuine sore point was Christian Gourcuff leaving Lorient for Rennes. Both fixtures fill Roazhon Park without generating the edge the Nantes game did.
The only European opponent Rennes have met more than once in a meaningful way, and the pairing produced a genuine reversal. Kyiv won the group in 2018/19 with eleven points to Rennes' nine, in the campaign that became the club's finest European run. Four years later, in the 2022/23 Europa League group phase, Rennes finished second on twelve points while Kyiv finished last on one. Two group-stage meetings four years apart is a storyline rather than a rivalry, and Rennes' European history is too thin and too scattered for anything more.
Not a rivalry but the club's defining European night. On 7 March 2019 Rennes beat Arsenal 3-1 at Roazhon Park in the Europa League round of 16, against ten men, having already knocked out Real Betis 6-4 on aggregate. Arsenal won the return 3-0 and Rennes went out 4-3, but that first leg remains the high-water mark of fifteen European campaigns. The club's other continental milestones are the 1999 Intertoto final, the 2020/21 Champions League debut and the 2021/22 Conference League round of 16.
| Season | Summary |
|---|---|
| 2021/22 | Fourth in Ligue 1 on 66 points. The Coupe de France ended early, beaten on penalties by second-tier Nancy in the round of 32 on 2 January. In Europe Rennes won their Conference League group with eleven points from five matches and reached the round of 16, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Leicester City after winning the home leg. |
| 2022/23 | Fourth again on a club-record 68 points. Marseille removed them from the Coupe de France in the round of 32. The Europa League group finished with Rennes second on twelve points, then a knockout play-off against Shakhtar Donetsk went to 3-3 on aggregate and was lost 5-4 on penalties after an own goal in the 119th minute of the home leg. |
| 2023/24 | Tenth on 46 points, the first sign of the decline. The cup run was the season's redeeming feature, a Coupe de France semi-final reached by beating Marseille 9-8 on penalties before losing 1-0 to Paris Saint-Germain. In the Europa League play-off round AC Milan won 5-3 on aggregate despite a 3-2 Rennes win at home. |
| 2024/25 | Twelfth on 41 points with three managers, Julien Stéphan then Jorge Sampaoli then Habib Beye from 30 January. Second-tier Troyes knocked Rennes out of the Coupe de France in the round of 32. No European football for the first time since 2018, and a summer clear-out followed. |
| 2025/26 | Sixth on 59 points and back into the Europa League. Habib Beye was dismissed in February with the club drifting, Sébastien Tambouret took caretaker charge for nine days, and Franck Haise arrived on 18 February and turned the season around, Rennes passing Marseille late in the run-in. Marseille had already ended the cup run 3-0 at the Vélodrome in the round of 16. |
The summer was defined by one sale and one signing. Jérémy Jacquet went to Liverpool in the largest deal in the club's history, and Eliezer Mayenda arrived from Sunderland as the most expensive player Rennes have bought. Charlie Cresswell came on loan from Toulouse with an option, Bryan Reynolds from Westerlo and Adrien Thomasson from Lens on a free.

Values are approximate and converted to sterling from euro valuations. Transfermarkt blocks automated access, so these figures come from an alternative valuation service and should be read as indicative of relative worth within the squad rather than as transfer prices. Shirt numbers are cross-verified against two independent sources. Number 29 does not appear because it was retired for Romain Danzé in 2019.
Select the fixture from the home list on this page, then choose the stand before you filter on price, because the four tribunes at Roazhon Park differ sharply in character. Every order carries the 150% money-back guarantee, paying one and a half times what you spent if valid tickets do not arrive or entry is refused.
The dedicated stadium shuttle from République is the practical option, running roughly every five to ten minutes from an hour and forty-five minutes before kick-off. Metro Line B to Cleunay works too but leaves a sixteen-minute walk. Bus routes 11 and 14 stop at Géniaux and lines 54, 55 and 56 at Guilloux.
Roughly 17,000 season tickets are sold against that capacity, 94 per cent of holders renew each year and several thousand more sit on a waiting list. The ground ran at about 93 per cent full last season, and the opening fixture against Paris Saint-Germain sold out to the public in around an hour.
Mobile tickets for Ligue 1 fixtures generally release in the final week before the match rather than immediately after purchase, so an order confirmed but undelivered a month out is normal. Bring a charged phone, because Rennes ticketing is fully digital and the barcode refreshes on a timer, so a screenshot will not scan.
No. Nantes finished seventeenth in 2025/26 and were relegated, so the Derby breton is not on the Ligue 1 calendar for 2026/27. The last meeting was at Roazhon Park on 26 April 2026, won 2-1 by Rennes. The Breton fixtures that remain are Brest and Lorient, both considerably friendlier affairs.
