RC Lens have banned their own supporters from attending the upcoming derby against Lille following dangerous behaviour by Lens fans during a match at Club Brugge that the club said "crossed a red line."

The decision was announced by the French club on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, with the ban applying to the Ligue 1 fixture against their northern rivals.

Lens did not specify the exact nature of the incidents in Belgium, but said the severity of the misconduct left them no choice but to impose the sanction.
