LIVESTREAM France: Villepinte Diables Rouge @ Thonon Black Panthers, March 7, 19:00 CET (7 pm, 1 pm ET)

The undefeated Thonon Black Panthers (3–0) look to continue their dominant start to the season when they welcome the struggling Villepinte Diables Rouges (0–3) to Stade Joseph Moynat for a French D1 Elite North Conference showdown.

Black Panthers firing on all cylinders
Thonon has looked every bit the three-time defending champion through three games, most recently overwhelming the previously unbeaten Fontenay Météores 42–7 in a statement win. The offense has been relentless, particularly on the ground—running back Lucas Davoine rushed for three touchdowns in last week’s victory, and the team piled up 244 rushing yards while the defense held Fontenay to just 69 total yards. With a physical run game, stifling defense, and sharp special teams, the Black Panthers have shown no weaknesses so far in 2026.

Diables Rouges seek first win in daunting challenge
Villepinte has struggled out of the gate, dropping a hard-fought 14–13 contest to the Rouen Léopards in Week 2 after failing to convert a game-winning two-point attempt late. The offense, led by quarterback Isaiah Green and running back Joyce Tambu, has shown flashes but struggled with consistency. Facing the league’s most complete team on the road is a tall order, but the Diables Rouges will look to build on positive moments and play with nothing to lose.

This matchup pits the league’s best against its most struggling side—on paper, a clear mismatch. But rivalries often bring surprises. Can Villepinte muster a historic upset, or will Thonon cruise to 4–0?
