Angers Ducs Tickets 2026-27: IceParc Home Games
The Ducs d'Angers bring consistent Ligue Magnus hockey to the Loire valley, with a modern home at the Angers IceParc. This guide covers the 2026-27 home schedule, the opponents worth planning around and the practical side of buying tickets.
Angers Ducs: Ligue Magnus hockey in the Loire valley
Angers is best known for its imposing castle and its easy-going Loire valley pace, but for hockey fans it is also a stop on the Ligue Magnus map. The Ducs d'Angers were founded in 1982 and have never won the national title, yet they are a regular, hard-working side. A visit gives you the other side of the league: not the trophy-holder, but the well-run club with a loyal home crowd.
The first home game is on 18 September 2026 against Gap, and the schedule lists 22 home dates.
Angers IceParc: a 3,586-seat modern rink
The Ducs play at the Angers IceParc, which holds 3,586 spectators. As one of the larger buildings outside the top-tier cities, it gives the atmosphere space to build while keeping the stands tight around the ice.
- Getting there: Angers has a main railway station and local public transport; check the route to the rink beforehand and the last return options.
- Match night: arrive early to find parking or to walk to the entrance.
- Seats: the central areas are good for tactics, while the ends are best for atmosphere.
Combining Angers sightseeing with the game
Angers castle, with its black-and-white striped walls and the famous Apocalypse Tapestry, is the natural daytime stop for any visitor. The city centre is walkable, with cafés and old streets that make an easy lunch before heading to the rink in the evening.
The Loire valley is also wine country, so a longer weekend can include a tasting in the surrounding vineyards. Because the IceParc is outside the old centre, check travel time to the rink and arrive early rather than cutting it close.
Angers atmosphere and the opponents to plan around
The Ducs' crowd is warm and informed, and the place can be loud when a game gets tight. Several opponents carry weight.
Rouen, the most decorated team in the league, visits on 9 November 2026 and 5 February 2027. Amiens comes on 1 December 2026 and 26 February 2027, and Bordeaux, the reigning champion, on 4 October 2026 and 19 January 2027. Those three give the best chance of seeing the league's top level.
Angers ticket advice: official channels and timing
Go to the club's official box office first. Season-ticket holders have priority and the champion's visit is likely to be popular.
- Big visitors: book when sales open.
- Other games: normally less demanding.
- From abroad: use online ordering and confirm the delivery format.
- Be careful with resale marketplaces.

Check the match start time on your ticket, and keep a note of the rink address, since the IceParc is not in the old town.
