Paris Saint-Germain have opened the 2026/27 domestic season in serious trouble, collecting just two points from three Ligue 1 matches and sitting near the relegation zone after a 2-1 home loss to Monaco. The defending French champions also lost to Lens in the Trophée des Champions, leaving them winless in four consecutive domestic matches, with two defeats, two draws, seven goals conceded and no clean sheets. The slump is a stark contrast to PSG’s back-to-back Champions League titles and recent dominance of French football, though coach Luis Enrique remains confident the team can recover. PSG’s attacking stars have struggled to score, while the team has repeatedly failed to protect leads and has been vulnerable defensively. The poor league start comes as PSG begins its Champions League title defense, seeking to become only the fourth club to win Europe’s top competition three years in a row.

The College Football Playoff says its expanded media-rights agreement with ESPN is in final review, paving the way for a proposed 24-team playoff starting in 2027, with four Power Four automatic bids, one Group of Six bid and 19 at-large spots. The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.
