NBA Paris Games: VIP tickets, boxes and hospitality with Zénith Conciergerie
The NBA Paris Games bring two NBA teams to Paris each January for one or more regular-season games at the Accor Arena, in Paris-Bercy. The teams and exact dates are announced by the NBA several months ahead. The event draws both basketball fans and curious visitors keen to experience an American sporting evening in the heart of Paris.
Zénith Conciergerie obtains courtside seats, box seats or hospitality places for these games for its clients through its specialist event hospitality partners, and arranges the entire Paris stay around them.
In short: the NBA Paris Games take place in January at the Accor Arena (Paris-Bercy), with teams and dates announced by the NBA several months ahead. Courtside seats, boxes and hospitality packages are scarce and in high demand. Zénith Conciergerie obtains these places, through its event hospitality partners, subject to availability, and arranges the full Paris stay: flights or private jet, chauffeur, hotel, restaurants. Requests are handled over WhatsApp, with a reply within 30 minutes and a detailed proposal within 24 hours.
The NBA Paris Games at a glance
The NBA Paris Games consist of one or more NBA regular-season games played in Paris, at the Accor Arena, each January. Two NBA franchises travel specially for the occasion; their identity, like the exact dates, is announced by the league several months in advance. The event recreates the atmosphere of an NBA game in Paris: team presentations, half-time entertainment, merchandise, and, for some games, appearances by well-known figures from the league.
With the Accor Arena's limited capacity and only one fixture on the calendar each year, demand for these games far exceeds the supply of seats, particularly for positions closest to the court.
Unlike a standard regular-season game in the United States, the NBA Paris Games are often paired with a wider programme: community events, basketball clinics, and appearances by former players or league ambassadors in the days before the game. This format broadens the event's appeal well beyond the game itself. When general tickets go on sale, they typically sell out within minutes, which is why many clients turn to a hospitality package to secure a seat. Broadcasters and sponsors treat the fixture as a showcase event, which often means extra pre-game entertainment and a broadcast-quality production not always seen at a routine regular-season game, which adds to the sense of occasion around the evening.
The access formulas we can secure
For the NBA Paris Games, Zénith Conciergerie works with its specialist event hospitality partner to try to secure, depending on the edition:
- courtside seats, closest to the action;
- a private box at the Accor Arena, with catering;
- access to a hospitality lounge, paired with a premium seat.
These seats are among the most sought-after in our Paris sports events catalogue: every request is handled subject to availability and quoted individually. Courtside positions, right at the edge of the action, are offered in extremely limited numbers and are allocated first by the organisers, before any are made available through a hospitality partner. For an overview, see our VIP tickets and hospitality page.
Around the seat: the stay arranged by Zénith
Zénith Conciergerie arranges the Paris stay around the NBA Paris Games: flights or private jet, a private chauffeur to the Accor Arena, a hotel or villa in a central district, restaurant tables before or after the game. Our luxury concierge in Paris page details our services in the capital. Travel can be arranged by private jet and accommodation selected through our luxury travel and hotels service, with the option to extend the stay in Paris. The programme can also include basketball-related activities in the days leading up to the game, depending on what is available for that period. Many clients also use their time in Paris to combine the game with a gastronomic evening or a private tour, depending on their interests.
Who it's for, and when to book
The NBA Paris Games suit basketball fans wanting to experience an NBA game without travelling to the United States, companies offering an evening to clients or staff as part of an incentive programme, and families looking for a rare shared moment. As teams and dates are only announced a few months before the game, we recommend expressing interest as soon as the official announcement is made, since demand for seats closest to the court quickly outstrips supply. Requests made after the official team announcement should expect a narrower choice of seats, particularly for positions closest to the court and the most sought-after boxes. Standard-category tickets, where offered, are sold separately from the hospitality formulas arranged by Zénith Conciergerie.
An annual highlight in Paris
Since it began, the NBA Paris Games have become an eagerly awaited annual fixture in Paris, sitting at the crossroads of professional American basketball and the city's sporting and fashion scene. Celebrities, former players and sporting figures are regularly seen courtside. The Accor Arena, a versatile multi-purpose venue, offers a proximity to the court that is rare for an event of this scale in Europe. The game draws a crowd that mixes celebrities, sporting figures and business executives, inside a human-scale venue that keeps guests close to the action and creates an atmosphere distinct from larger American arenas. Corporate hosts often use the evening as a networking opportunity, pairing the game itself with a private reception before or after tip-off.
