French basketball fans will have free access to the upcoming pre-season exhibition tournament as prominent streamer Zack Nani broadcasts the Supercoupe live from Paris on Twitch and YouTube on September 19 and 20. The event brings together several top-tier clubs from France’s elite LNB Pro A division, offering supporters an early look at high-level domestic competition ahead of the official league campaign.
Tournament Field and Venue Details
The showcase event features a high-profile lineup headlined by LDLC ASVEL, the club chaired by NBA legend Tony Parker, alongside Paris Basketball. According to organizing details, matches will take place at the iconic Roland-Garros complex in Paris, adapting the famed tennis venue for hardwood action.

The tournament format is designed to test early-season roster cohesion. With EuroLeague and domestic commitments looming for the participating clubs, coaches are expected to utilize the two-day event to evaluate rotation depth, integrate new acquisitions, and fine-tune tactical schemes.
Accessibility and Broadcast Strategy
By partnering with Zack Nani—one of France’s most prominent digital content creators and streamers—organizers are pivoting toward a younger, digitally native audience. The decision to stream the Supercoupe entirely free on Twitch and YouTube marks a departure from traditional paywalled sports broadcasting models in French basketball.
Streams will run across both platforms concurrently throughout the competition dates of September 19 and 20, featuring dedicated commentary and interactive fan engagement through chat features native to Twitch. Broadcasters and league officials hope the digital-first approach will expand the game’s reach beyond traditional television subscribers.
Implications for the LNB Pro A Season
Coming weeks ahead of the regular-season tip-off, the Supercoupe serves as a vital barometer for French basketball heavyweights. ASVEL enters the tournament carrying expectations of reclaiming domestic dominance, while Paris Basketball looks to build upon its recent continental and domestic momentum.
Fans tuning into the digital broadcast can expect high-intensity play despite the exhibition tag, as players fight for starting positions and rhythm before the domestic calendar officially commences.
Next Steps for Fans
Supporters can access the live broadcasts on Zack Nani’s official channels on Twitch and YouTube on September 19 and 20. Tip-off times and match schedules are available through the official channels of the participating clubs and tournament organizers.
