EHF Champions League handball comes to Bercy for the first time: PSG to host Füchse Berlin at Accor Arena
Paris Saint-Germain will make history on March 3, 2027, when the French champions host Füchse Berlin at the iconic Accor Arena in Bercy for the first time in the EHF Champions League. The club has confirmed that its final group-stage match will take place at one of Europe’s most famous indoor venues.
The decision reflects PSG’s growing ambitions in Europe’s elite competition, with the Parisian side aiming to secure a place in the quarter-finals. The encounter with the German powerhouse could prove crucial in the race for qualification, while also providing an opportunity to set a new attendance record for a Champions League handball match in France.
The current record belongs to HBC Nantes, who attracted 10,624 spectators for their Champions League clash against Industria Kielce in December 2025.
PSG have already witnessed increasing interest from their supporters this season. Their recent home match against Aalborg attracted 3,230 fans to Stade Pierre de Coubertin, the club’s highest attendance figure in the past two seasons.
Although this will be PSG’s first Champions League appearance at Bercy, the venue is not unfamiliar to the French champions.
In May 2024, PSG hosted Aix in a French league encounter that drew 14,840 spectators, establishing a new attendance record for a domestic handball league match in France. The club returned to the Accor Arena last season for a league fixture against Nantes, attracting more than 11,000 fans.
However, March 3, 2027, will mark a new chapter, as PSG bring EHF Champions League handball to the Accor Arena for the very first time.
The sporting challenge will be significant. After suffering elimination against Veszprém in last season’s Last 16, PSG are determined to make a deeper run in the competition. Standing in their way will be Füchse Berlin, the finalists of the previous EHF Champions League campaign.
The Accor Arena is also set for a busy handball spring in 2027, with the French Cup finals weekend and the French championship final scheduled to take place at the famous Parisian venue.
