Metz and Guingamp set for Ligue 2 curtain-raiser

The new Ligue 2 season kicks off with Metz hosting Guingamp at Stade Saint Symphorien on Saturday, 8 August 2026. This encounter marks the opening matchday of the campaign, offering both sides an immediate opportunity to set the tone for the months ahead.

Metz's path to the season opener

Metz's recent form shows a mixed picture as they prepare for the new season. Their last confirmed fixture was a 3-1 friendly victory over Fortuna Sittard on 25 July. Prior to that, their Ligue 1 campaign concluded with a series of draws and defeats, including a goalless draw with Nice and a heavy 4-0 loss to Lorient. However, they did secure a friendly draw against RFC Seraing in late April.
