Stade Français Paris Rugby (10-0-16) approaches the new Top 14 campaign with an eye toward improvement and a return to relevance in the standings. Last season offered only 10 wins, leaving the Parisian club outside playoff contention and behind the league’s pace setters.

The tradition remains formidable. Since its re-formation in 1995, Stade Français has captured five French league titles and a European Challenge Cup.

Supporters at Jean-Bouin continue to expect a team that can compete with the best, even as results have fluctuated in recent years.

This season’s roster contains both familiar names and international contributors. France international Sekou Macalou anchors the back row, while Louis Carbonel directs play at fly-half. Overseas experience comes through players like Brad Weber of New Zealand and England’s Joe Marchant, both adding leadership to the backline.

The schedule poses early questions. Opening against Montauban provides a chance to establish momentum, but October brings Toulouse, Toulon, and Racing 92 in succession. Handling that stretch could determine whether Paris climbs or endures another year in the middle tier of the table.

SFP Historic Legacy

The Paris club’s five Top 14 titles and 2017 Challenge Cup triumph make it one of the most decorated in French rugby. Its modern era began in 1995 with the merger that created the current structure, and since then the club has remained a prominent name at home and abroad.

International Rugby Core

The 2025–26 roster features capped internationals from New Zealand (Brad Weber, Tawera Kerr-Barlow), England (Joe Marchant, Zach Henry), Argentina (Juan Scelzo), Fiji (Peniasi Dakuwaqa), Italy (Giacomo Nicotera), and Samoa (Paul Alo-Emile, Moses Alo-Emile, Iakopo Mapu). That blend provides both versatility and test-match experience.

Point Differential Problem

The club’s 2024–25 season ended with a –158 point differential. That figure highlights defensive fragility and inconsistency in tight matches. Improving discipline and late-game control could be the difference between repeating mid-table struggles or pushing higher.
