Paris Basketball to Host Fenerbahçe at Accor Arena in EuroLeague Rematch

Paris Basketball will return to the Accor Arena on Wednesday, November 11, for a high-profile EuroLeague matchup against Fenerbahçe. The game marks the club’s first appearance of the season at the larger Bercy venue, shifting away from their usual home court at the Adidas Arena in Porte de la Chapelle.

A Rematch Following the 2025 EuroLeague Playoffs

The encounter serves as a rematch for the Parisian side. During the spring of 2025, Paris Basketball and Fenerbahçe met in the EuroLeague quarterfinals. In what was the French club’s debut appearance in the competition’s playoffs, they were eliminated by the Turkish side in a three-game series. The final game of that series, played at the Adidas Arena, was decided in overtime with a 98-88 victory for Fenerbahçe.

Transition to the Accor Arena

While Paris Basketball has established a consistent home presence at the Adidas Arena this season, the move to the Accor Arena allows the club to host a larger crowd for a marquee opponent. The facility has historically served as the site for several of the club’s most significant matches in recent years. Organizers have indicated that the evening will feature specific event programming and surprises to mark the club’s return to the venue.

Tip-Off Set for EuroLeague Regular Season Match

The game is scheduled for the 11th round of the EuroLeague regular season. Tip-off is set for 20:45 local time. In preparation for the month’s schedule, the club previously offered a “Pass November” ticket bundle starting at 19 euros, which included admission to this match at the Accor Arena as well as three additional home games at the Adidas Arena.
