Clash of capitals against London

Published on September 11, 2026

It’s time for the final of the London Lions Invitational ! Less than 24 hours after that thrilling victory over Žalgiris Kaunas (83-82), Paris Basketball face the London Lions this Friday at 9.30 pm.

The final pre-season match for our Parisians… and not just any old match ! On Thursday evening, our team had to battle it out until the very end of the night against Žalgiris Kaunas. It was an opener worthy of the finest EuroLeague evenings, which Paris Basketball won thanks to a last-gasp drive by Nadir. Thanks to this victory, Paris Basketball will be in contention for the title tonight against the home side, the London Lions.

Meanwhile, the UK champions faced Śląsk Wrocław – Poland’s most successful club. Despite a tricky start, the London Lions relied on Joel Scott’s 20 points to cruise to victory (96–78). More than two years on, the Londoners face their Parisian nemesis once again, against whom they have suffered three consecutive defeats.

Since then, however, both teams have changed significantly, which makes this a particularly exciting fixture to watch. The final will also be streamed free-to-air on the London Lions’ YouTube channel.
