Extreme heat wrecked PSG's pitch and forced their home opener to Rennes — a replacement surface is due by 4 September

Extreme heat damaged the Parc des Princes pitch so badly that PSG's Ligue 1 home opener against Rennes was relocated to Roazhon Park on 23 August. PSG said conditions threatened "player safety and physical wellbeing." The club has ordered a replacement surface, expected ready for their next home match against Monaco on 4 September. A climate-driven disruption that football's late-summer calendar may face again.
