Paris emerges as a battleground between NBA Europe and EuroLeague: PSG cautious, Paris Basketball pushing for long-term license

The NBA is assessing European expansion, with Paris identified as a key market. However, the situation in the French capital is proving to be more complicated than expected.

The NBA approached PSG about creating a basketball division, but the club remains cautious, waiting for a clearer proposal. Additionally, PSG contacted FIBA for clarification but did not receive definitive answers. The club is also concerned about the NBA’s potential ties with Real Madrid, a key advocate for the controversial European Super League in football.

Meanwhile, Paris Basketball, which won the EuroCup, is seeking long-term stability in EuroLeague. After receiving only a one-year license, the club is actively lobbying for a multi-year contract, while still keeping options open regarding the NBA’s European project.
