Paris Saint-Germain clinched their fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title on 14 May 2026, defeating Racing Club de Lens 2-0 away from home to seal the championship with one match still remaining in the 2025–2026 season. It is the first time in the club's history that PSG have won five French top-flight titles in a row.
Historic Milestone for the Parisians
The victory at Lens was also PSG's 11th away win of the campaign — the highest number of road victories by any side in Ligue 1 this season. The title is PSG's 14th top-flight crown overall, pushing their total tally of honours to 59, cementing their status as France's most decorated football club of all time.
A Season of Four Trophies
The Ligue 1 triumph is the fourth honour of the 2025–2026 season for PSG, following the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, and the Trophée des Champions. The latter was secured on 8 January with a 4-1 penalty-shootout win over Olympique de Marseille after a 2-2 draw in Kuwait City.
What Luis Enrique Said
PSG head coach Luis Enrique described the league title as the hardest of the three domestic trophies to win. 'We showed the level and the ambition required to finish on top this season. We are very happy because this is the most difficult of the three trophies to win. Lens have had a great championship. Today, playing in this stadium was a big game, because next season, both of us will be in the Champions League. We need to enjoy the moment,' he said.
Club President Looks Ahead to Budapest
PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi congratulated coach Luis Enrique, sporting director Luís Campos, and all backroom staff, while also highlighting the contribution of the club's academy — with five young players making their professional debuts this season. 'Our focus is now fully on our upcoming assignment in Budapest, with even more work to be done as we continue to make history together,' Al-Khelaifi said.
Eyes on Budapest: Champions League Final
PSG have reached their second consecutive UEFA Champions League final, where they will face Arsenal in Budapest on 30 May. A win there would add a sixth trophy to an already historic season and complete one of European football's most remarkable campaigns by a club side.
Point of View
Not just a trophy count — it signals that PSG's post-Mbappe rebuild under Luis Enrique has not merely held the line but raised it. The more revealing metric is the 11 away wins, which points to a team with genuine tactical depth rather than home-ground dominance. The real reckoning comes on 30 May in Budapest: a Champions League final against Arsenal is the one stage where PSG's domestic supremacy has historically meant nothing. If Enrique delivers that, the narrative around this club changes permanently.
