Cergy-Pontoise Jokers Tickets 2026-27: Aren'Ice Games
The Jokers de Cergy-Pontoise offer Ligue Magnus hockey within reach of Paris, at the Aren'Ice rink that doubles as the French federation's home. This page covers their 2026-27 home games, the key opponents and the practical steps for buying tickets.
Cergy-Pontoise Jokers: hockey just outside Paris
For visitors based in the French capital, Cergy-Pontoise is the most accessible Ligue Magnus option. The Jokers were founded in 1981 and have not won a national title, but they have a long record in the league and a loyal base in the Val d'Oise. A game here is a way to see top French hockey without leaving the Paris region.
The season starts at home on 15 September 2026 against Marseille, and the schedule lists 22 home games.
Cergy-Pontoise's Aren'Ice: the Jokers' 3,000-seat rink
The Jokers play at Aren'Ice, which holds 3,000 spectators and is also the base of the French ice sports federation, the FFHG. That makes the building central to French hockey as a whole, not only to one club.
- Getting there: Cergy is served by the RER A line from Paris, and regular road access, so check the last train home before the match.
- Match times: several weekend games start at 15:00, perfect for families and visitors.
- Atmosphere: the fan base is smaller than in the big hockey cities, but the rink is friendly and easy to navigate.
Cergy-Pontoise atmosphere and key opponents
The Jokers' home is comfortable and welcoming, and it works well for newcomers. The most interesting visitors are the big names. Rouen comes on 16 October 2026 and 2 March 2027, and Amiens on 13 November 2026 and 19 January 2027, the northern clubs that fill the stands the most.
Look at the Sunday 15:00 dates as well, such as the match on 27 September 2026 against Angers, or those on 25 October 2026 and 22 November 2026, if you want an afternoon plan.
Combining Cergy-Pontoise with Paris
Because Cergy is part of the Paris region, a hockey game can slot into a longer Paris stay. Stay in the capital and make the trip out for a game, or stay near the rink if you want to avoid late-night travel. Check the local transport timetable; late evening services are less frequent than in central Paris.
Cergy has a large urban lake and parks, a pleasant place to spend the afternoon before a weekend game, and a very different side of the Paris region from the famous central sights.
