Toulouse saw their four-match scoring streak come to an end on matchday one as Olympique Lyon claimed a 0-2 away victory on August 22, 2026. Despite registering 17 shots and accumulating an expected goals total of 2.77, the hosts failed to convert their chances.

Malick Fofana then added a second goal in the 85th minute, with Corentin Tolisso providing the assist. Fofana earned the highest rating of the match at 7.9, while teammate Noah Nartey received a 7.7 rating for their efforts in possession that eventually unlocked the game.
The visitors arrived seeking a turnaround after finishing fourth in the previous competition with 60 points, while Toulouse had placed 10th with 44 points.
