This is the event to mark in red ink on the calendar for all NBA fans in France. Thursday evening, the first match of the NBA Paris Games 2025 will be played on the floor of the Accor Arena during an evening dedicated to spectacle, notably thanks to the return of Victor Wembanyama with his San Antonio Spurs club on the ground French. Remember that “Wemby” wore the Metropolitans 92 jersey in the French capital before being first choice in the NBA draft in 2023. He was elected Kia Rookie of the Year.
The Texas team will face the Indiana Pacers for a shock of the relocated American championship.
At what time and on which channel to watch Indiana Pacers – San Antonio Spurs
The first leg of the NBA Paris Games 2025 will be broadcast on Thursday January 23, at 8 p.m., on Canal + unencrypted and on beIN Sports.
Parisian show in two acts
After this match on Thursday, the two teams will meet again on Saturday at 6 p.m. to play the return. These NBA Eastern Conference matches will be broadcast unencrypted on Canal +, which is broadcasting the American basketball championship for the first time since 2012. In addition, the schedule is ideal for following a sport that is almost always broadcast live in the middle of at night. Five months after the Olympics, this event allows you to relive unique sporting moments on Parisian soil and to see French sports prodigy Victor Wembanyama evolve.
-The sporting issue
Beyond the financial aspect of such a relocated meeting, there will be nothing friendly about the match. The Indiana Pacers arrive as conference finalists the previous season. Currently 5th in the East, they will not do the Spurs any favors, whose project around Wembanyama is taking shape despite checkered results (victory against the Lakers then defeats against the Grizzlies and the Heat in the last matches). They are currently 12th in the Western Conference.
If you are in Paris, many events will be organized near the NBA House. In addition, the Val-d’Oise Departmental Sports Training and Animation Center is offering a free evening with a giant screen and a host of activities to enjoy the event.
