Officers in riot gear clashed with fans in the streets. Bottles were thrown at police, Press Association reported.
One England fan and one local man were arrested following trouble on Thursday night, when police also used tear gas.
The first tournament game, between the hosts and Romania in Paris, is due to start at 20:00 BST.
The fresh clashes took place outside a pub in the Old Port district, the same area that had been affected on Thursday.
'Quite menacing'
BBC 5 Live sports presenter George Riley said a group of England fans had appeared to be goading either the police or locals in the area.
He said the group appeared "quite menacing", which prompted the 5 live team to leave.
On Thursday four French policemen were lightly injured as they moved in on England fans, the news website France Bleu reported. Many of the fans had been drunk, it said.
After the tear gas was released, the police restored calm to the area at about 02:30 local time.
There had been no damage to local property, they said.
English fans are in Marseille ahead of England's game with Russia on Saturday.
