The European champions won the French top tier for a fifth season in a row last term, finishing six points clear of Lens, and are heavy favourites again this term.
Lens are one of 12 teams to have changed their head coach over the summer but beat PSG to win the Trophée des Champions in a boost to their hopes of another strong campaign.
Marseille, Monaco, Lille and Lyon are the other sides tipped to impress in 2026/27, while Le Mans, Angers and Troyes are expected to be part of the relegation battle.
It's set to be another thrilling Ligue 1 season and it's easy for UK viewers to get stuck.

Is Ligue 1 on UK TV?
No! Despite PSG establishing themselves as Europe's top team, having won back-to-back Champions Leagues, UK TV broadcasters have decided against purchasing television rights for Ligue 1 for the 2026/27 season.
The league has set up its own broadcasting service in response, while matches will also be streamed live on bet365 throughout the new campaign.
