Resolution criteria

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Paris FC qualifies for the 2026–2027 UEFA Champions League. Qualification can be achieved through:

• Finishing in a position in Ligue 1 during the 2025–2026 season that grants direct entry into the UEFA Champions League.

• Finishing in a position in Ligue 1 during the 2025–2026 season that grants a slot for the UCL's qualifying playoff phase AND advancing into the UCL.

• Winning the 2025–2026 UEFA Europa League, which provides automatic qualification to the subsequent season's Champions League.

Official confirmation from UEFA or the French Football Federation will serve as the primary sources for resolution.

Background

Paris FC secured promotion to Ligue 1 for the 2025–2026 season after a 46-year absence. The club has undergone significant changes, including new ownership by the Arnault family's Agache Sport and Red Bull GmbH, and a move to Stade Jean-Bouin in Paris. (en.wikipedia.org)

The UEFA Champions League format has been revamped starting from the 2024–2025 season. The competition now features 36 teams in a single league phase, replacing the previous group stage format. Teams play eight matches against different opponents, with the top eight teams advancing directly to the round of 16. Teams finishing 9th to 24th enter a playoff to secure a spot in the round of 16.
