Overview

• Following the prefect's order based on Météo-France alerts of 70–120 mm of rain and flash‑flood risk, the LFP reprogrammed the match for Monday, 22 September at 20:00 at the Vélodrome.
• The new kickoff overlaps the Ballon d'Or in Paris, meaning several PSG nominees and staff will forgo the ceremony despite the club's strong representation.
• PSG pushed for an earlier Monday slot or a December date, whereas Marseille insisted on next‑day replay under article 548, and the LFP set 20:00.
• Operational fallout was immediate as PSG flew back to Paris, OM reshaped preparations, and tens of thousands of ticketed supporters faced disruption.
• PSG were already short-handed with injuries to Ousmane Dembélé, João Neves, Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué, adding sporting strain to the scheduling clash.
