First test for Paris in Orléans

Published on August 25, 2026

48 hours after Victor Wembanyama’s French national team, the CO’Met Arena will host Paris Basketball for their first pre-season friendly this Tuesday at 8pm against Orléans.

The pre-season is off to a start for Paris ! A week after our Parisian squad returned to training, Maxime Lefèvre’s men are set for a first test before flying off to Menorca. And just like last year, Paris Basketball will be travelling to Orléans.

Having finished fourth in ELITE 2 last season, today’s opponents are aiming for promotion this year under Lamine Kébé. Having beaten the Ivory Coast national team last Wednesday (90–82), Jean-Baptiste Maille’s teammates have got their pre-season preparations off to a flying start.

A superb test lies ahead for Paris – follow it live on our social media channels.
