Marseille's opening match of the 2020/21 season against Saint-Etienne was postponed on Tuesday after a fourth person at the club tested positive for coronavirus.
The match, due to take place at the Vélodrome on Friday evening was scheduled as the stand-alone first fixture of the new campaign season.
The game between Bordeaux and Nantes will replace it as the poster event for a league that was cancelled in April as part of the French government's attempts to stem the spread of the disease.
Marseille said on Tuesday that all details of the cases had been passed to the Ligue de Football Professionnel, the body that runs professional football in France.
The LFP said the match would be rescheduled for 16 or 17 September.
