Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) won their fifth consecutive Ligue 1 championship on May 13, 2026, by beating second-placed Lens 2-0 in their penultimate league match away from home [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the 29th minute and Ibrahim Mbaye during stoppage time sealed the victory [1, 6, 2, 3, 7, 4, 8, 5]. The win brought PSG’s point total to 76, making it mathematically impossible for Lens, on 67 points, to catch them with one game remaining [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8].
This title marks PSG’s 14th Ligue 1 championship and their longest consecutive streak since Lyon’s seven titles from 2002 to 2008 [1, 3, 4, 8]. The club has dominated French football under Qatari ownership, winning 12 of the last 14 top-flight titles [4, 8]. PSG manager Luis Enrique called it "the sweetest and hardest title to win," praising his team’s defensive effort against a strong Lens side. He said, "Today, we spent more time defending than usual. But if you want to win trophies, you have to be able to dominate both offensively and defensively. And the team today showed the mentality it needs to win" [9, 6, 10].
Lens finished the season confirmed as runners-up, securing a spot in next season’s Champions League group stage [1, 3, 4, 8]. Willian Pacho of Lens highlighted their team spirit, saying, "The mentality of defending together is what characterises us. The forwards help us defend and we help them attack" [9]. Lens fans expressed resentment over the match being postponed from early April to mid-May, a decision Lens criticized as favoring wealthier clubs like PSG, though organizers cited the need to rest PSG players between Champions League quarter-final legs [7, 4].
PSG’s roster this season included key players Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ibrahim Mbaye, Warren Zaire-Emery, Desire Doue, and goalkeeper Matvey Safonov [9, 11, 7, 8]. Kvaratskhelia finished the season with 19 league goals, a vital contribution to PSG’s success [4, 8]. Dembele said, "We came here to win, but the more important thing is to prepare for the Champions League final. We have one league game left but we are the champions, and we will celebrate" [8].
Besides Ligue 1, PSG has won the UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Intercontinental Cup, and French Champions Trophy during the 2025-26 season [4, 8]. PSG will face Arsenal in the Champions League final in Budapest on May 30 or 31, aiming to secure back-to-back European titles [1, 9, 6, 4, 8]. Lens will play Nice in the French Cup final on May 22, offering them a chance for silverware after a strong league campaign [4, 8].
