The Olympique de Marseille - Angers SCO (1-2) match attracted the highest official attendance of the matchday with 44,520 spectators (recorded as tickets sold), according to figures from the LFP. However, the actual attendance of the match was 22,028 spectators actually in the stadium.

Montpellier Hérault SC - FC Lorient (2-1) drew the lowest attendance of the weekend, with 10,518 spectators at the Stade de la Mosson (32,950 seats), a 32% fill rate. The match between LOSC Lille - FC Nantes (0-1, Matchday 7) was shifted to Tuesday, 29/09/2015.
