In Their Own Story

Key dates defined the structure of this specific campaign. The league fixtures were officially announced on 29 June 2023. Later, the draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage took place on 31 August 2023. As the knockout phase approached, the round of 16 draw was held on 18 December 2023. The spring schedule included the quarter-final and semi-final draws, both occurring on 15 March 2024, with the latter following immediately after the former. These administrative milestones guided the team through a season that saw them compete across four major competitions without their three most prominent departed stars.

Before the Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) takeover of PSG in 2011, the club had won 18 major trophies, including one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, two Ligue 1 titles and eight Coupes de France, making it the joint third-most successful club in French football at the time. After the acquisition by QSI, the club entered a period of sustained domestic dominance, attracting numerous high-profile players and becoming the country's most successful club. The club won its first UEFA Champions League title in 2025 as part of a continental treble before successfully defending the trophy in 2026. Since 2011, PSG has been majority-owned by Qatar Sports Investments, with Arctos Partners acquiring a minority stake in 2023 and Boardroom in 2025.
