When and where Lens play Sporting CP

Lens host Sporting CP at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Tuesday 13 October 2026, with kick-off at 18:45 local time. Lens and Sporting CP meet in a Champions League fixture that forms part of the competition's league phase, in which clubs play a single set of opponents rather than a traditional league phase.

The tie brings a club from France's Ligue 1 up against a Portuguese side from the Primeira Liga, and it is one of the more eye-catching midweek fixtures on Lens' European calendar this season.

Stade Bollaert-Delelis on a European night

Stade Bollaert-Delelis sits in the town of Lens and has a longstanding reputation as one of the more intense atmospheres in French football, with steep, closely packed stands close to the pitch. A Champions League league phase fixture against Portuguese opposition adds an extra edge to that reputation for the home crowd.

Sporting CP arrive in northern France as one of Portugal's established clubs, playing their domestic football at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon, and this fixture forms part of a competition where every league phase result counts towards a club's position in the combined table.

Choosing where to sit

• Seats along the side stands tend to give the clearest view of the pitch
• Ends behind the goals usually carry the most vocal home and away support
• Champions League fixtures have separate allocations for visiting supporters
• Arriving in good time is sensible for an 18:45 kick-off, given the compact streets around the stadium

Sporting CP fans should confirm their designated away section on any ticket before travelling, since segregation between home and away supporters is standard practice for Champions League fixtures at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
