New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs tickets for the NBA Paris Games on Thursday 14 January 2027 are available on Ticombo. It will be the sixth regular-season NBA game played in Paris.
It will also be the sixteenth NBA team game played in France since 1991, kicking off a two-game European swing for the New Orleans Pelicans and the San Antonio Spurs, who face each other again three days later in Manchester on Sunday 17 January 2027. General admission via the official NBA sales channels ended after both Paris and Manchester tickets sold out; the league announced the sell-out in September 2026, adding that the ballots saw a record-breaking number of NBA fans in Europe registering their interest. Around one million fans showed an interest, compared to Accor Arena's 15,609 basketball capacity, meaning the resale market will prove vital for many.
It'll be a dream come true for Spurs centre Victor Wembanyama, the league's latest superstar, to return to France as an NBA star; the Frenchman was the first pick in the 2023 NBA draft having starred in France for Nanterre 92 and Metropolitans 92. Wemby has since been named as the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year and selected to the First Team All-NBA, and he's expected to draw huge crowds as a result.

The NBA's latest fixture in Paris will be played at Accor Arena. Originally named Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy when it was built in 1984, the venue's distinctive, grass-clad exterior takes the form of a sloped pyramid on the eastern reaches of Paris' 12th arrondissement. After an extensive refit between 2014 and 2015 it was named AccorHotels Arena, adopting the name Accor Arena in 2020.
It's a multi-event arena famous for staging concerts as well as sporting events including basketball and handball. Its biggest claims to fame include three EuroLeague Final Fours, the 2024 Olympic basketball and gymnastics medal rounds, and every previous NBA fixture in Paris.
Smaller than the vast majority of North American NBA arenas, Accor Arena compensates with proximity; its 15,609-seat bowl is steeply raked and loud, and the acoustics are harsh. It is an intimate venue known for some of the loudest atmospheres in Europe, which is exactly what a blockbuster NBA match-up needs.
The arena's main entrance is located next to Bercy Métro station on lines 6 and 14; Cour Saint-Émilion on line 14 is also an easy walk across Bercy park and through its restaurant and bar area, Bercy Village. Gare de Lyon station is a ten-minute walk away; it's a hub of routes across France and can be linked to Eurostar trains into Gare du Nord via the Métro on line 14 or the RER D train.
The arena is connected to Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports by RER and Orlyval; Orly also benefits from a direct Métro connection via line 14. Parking is limited, so consider public transport, as Paris' low-emission zone could prove problematic for some. Paris in January on a Thursday is a great time to visit, too: the city is much quieter and easily reached by Eurostar and short-haul flights.
Suitcases or holdalls cannot be taken into Accor Arena, so you'll need to leave these at your hotel if travelling from afar. Backpacks are allowed into the arena, but must be checked into the cloakroom before entering.
The Pelicans and Spurs will next meet at Co-op Live, on the Etihad Campus in east Manchester, on Sunday 17 January 2027. That will be the first regular-season NBA game in Manchester, but the 21st in the UK, which first hosted a game in 1993. The arena opened in May 2024 and is the biggest indoor arena in the country, with a capacity of 20,500 seated or 23,500 in total. Etihad Campus has its own Metrolink stop — ride the blue line from Piccadilly Gardens for a speedy 15 minute journey.
Tickets at Co-op Live, which can take several thousand more than Accor Arena, went quickly. However, original ticket holders are now adding tickets they received to sell on Ticombo.
New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs NBA Manchester Games Tickets — Sunday 17 January 2027, Co-op Live, Manchester
Victor Wembanyama's return to Paris is a must-see moment of his Spurs career, but there's plenty of other must-see games this season. San Antonio and New Orleans are rivals in the NBA's Southwest Division, which means they're slated to meet on four occasions during 2026/27. Here are those fixtures:
| Date | Fixture | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Saturday 21 November 2026 | New Orleans Pelicans at San Antonio Spurs Tickets | Frost Bank Center, San Antonio |
| Sunday 20 December 2026 | San Antonio Spurs at New Orleans Pelicans Tickets | Smoothie King Center, New Orleans |
| Thursday 14 January 2027 | Pelicans vs Spurs, NBA Paris Game | Accor Arena, Paris |
| Sunday 17 January 2027 | Pelicans vs Spurs, NBA Manchester Game Tickets | Co-op Live, Manchester |
San Antonio were second in the West in 2025/26 after a 62-20 campaign, losing to eventual champions the Knicks in the NBA Finals after knocking out Portland, Minnesota and Oklahoma City en route. Victor Wembanyama is the hottest ticket in town as a result, so Spurs fixtures will be in huge demand throughout 2026/27. Here are some that could be added to your NBA bucket list:
Home games at the Frost Bank Center:
Away games:
The Pelicans are still in a rebuilding phase after finishing 26-56 in 2025/26, but new head coach Jamahl Mosley, who took Orlando to three successive play-offs, could start turning the ship around immediately. New Orleans' future looks bright with a stacked young core including Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen:
Home games at the Smoothie King Center:
Away games:
Victor Wembanyama's Spurs are heading back to Accor Arena for a blockbuster NBA Paris Game against the New Orleans Pelicans, the first of the league's two European games for the 2026/27 NBA season.
Around one million applications were made for tickets for the Pelicans-Spurs game in Paris and their rematch in Manchester. As always, tickets were heavily oversubscribed and allocated via ballot. With fewer than 16,000 seats at Accor Arena, tickets have long since sold out. However, original ticket holders are now adding tickets they received to sell on Ticombo.
For fans of both teams this is a chance to really get behind them in a match-up that promises plenty of thrills and spills. And for Wembanyama it'll be an emotional return to France to take on a young Pelicans side with a core of their own. Last time the Spurs were in Paris they'd yet to nail down their starting five, but this time San Antonio will be confident of challenging for another title after an incredible 2025/26 season.
