Basketball fans won't want to miss this exceptional event. The NBA Paris Games 2025 marks Victor Wembanyama 's return to French soil, this time in a Spurs jersey. At theAccor Arena, the young prodigy will take on the Indiana Pacers, a formidable team in the Eastern Conference. A rare moment to savor in the electric atmosphere of the NBA.
If you can't attend the games in person, Canal+ will broadcast both matches free-to-air, with commentary by French basketball legend George Eddy and journalist Joris Sabi. A unique chance to experience the NBA from the comfort of your sofa. We're delighted to see the NBA back on Canal+ after an absence since 2012, as it demonstrates the enthusiasm for the sport across the country, particularly since the Olympic Games.
For subscribers to beIN Sports, the usual broadcaster of the NBA in France, the games will also be available, with a team of experts including Mary Patrux, Rémi Reverchon, and Jacques Monclar, among others. The free-to-air broadcast on Canal+ is also an opportunity for beIN Sports to attract new fans to its offering, ahead of Amazon Prime Video's arrival on the French NBA rights market next autumn.
In sporting terms, the duel promises to be intense. The Pacers, conference finalists last season, are well positioned in 5th place in the East, while the Spurs, in the midst of a rebuild around Wembanyama, will be hoping to capitalize on this event to revitalize their season.
We're looking forward to two exceptional evenings of sporting performance, spectacle and emotion. Whether you're at the Accor Arena or in front of your TV screen, American basketball promises to rock Paris this week. The Carreau du Temple is also offering a wealth of entertainment for the occasion at the NBA House. Another good idea is the Centre départemental de formation et d'animation sportives du Val-d'Oise (Val-d'Oise Departmental Center for Sports Training and Activities), which is offering an evening open to all, with a giant screen and entertainment. Frog pubs are also broadcasting the games, so you can share the evening with other fans.
Have a good game!
