HC Ajoie tickets 2026-27: Jura hockey at the Raiffeisen Arena

HC Ajoie: the pride of the Jura in the National League

Founded in 1973, HC Ajoie has been in the National League since 2021, a milestone for a club from a region of around 20,000 people. Every season in the top flight is a story of ambition, community effort and the local pride of the Jura canton.

The club has no league title, but it has something that matters more to its supporters: a hall that is full of people who know each other. For visitors, that makes Ajoie one of the friendliest places in the league.

Raiffeisen Arena: where HC Ajoie play at home

The Raiffeisen Arena holds 5,178, a respectable capacity for such a small town. It is a compact hall in which every seat is close to the ice, and the noise is easy to feel. Access is simple by car, and regional trains arrive in Porrentruy within walking distance of the town centre.

Inside, expect a no-frills hall, with simple food stands and a loud standing area. Arrive early to find your place and enjoy the build-up with the local fans.

The HC Ajoie crowd: a community in the stands

The Ajoie crowd is loud and loyal. Songs, flags and drums create a continuous rhythm, and the whole hall turns into a wall of sound when the team scores. People come as families and groups of friends, and the atmosphere is welcoming.

Visitors often comment on how friendly the fans are. A scarf from the fan shop and a few words of French make a big difference.

HC Ajoie rivalries: Biel and Fribourg

EHC Biel-Bienne, the neighbouring club across the language border, visit Porrentruy on 26 November 2026 and 15 January 2027. Fribourg-Gottéron, the champions, come on 21 November 2026 and 8 January 2027.

These four games make up the heart of the home calendar and are the first to disappear.

Getting HC Ajoie tickets as a visitor

Start with the club's official box office. Season ticket holders have priority, and with 5,178 seats, Fribourg and Biel dates sell out quickly. Decide early if you plan to travel.

From abroad, check delivery and keep your ticket on your phone. If a game is sold out, use only reputable resale marketplaces. Our email alert will tell you when your preferred dates are worth securing.

A Jura weekend around HC Ajoie

Porrentruy is the main town of the Ajoie region in the Jura canton, with a medieval centre and a castle above the old town. Trains run via Delémont, and car access is simple from Basel and Biel, which makes the area an off-the-beaten-path stop for hockey travellers.

Plan an overnight stay so you can see the town by day, and book your ticket first, because demand for a small hall is strong in this tight community.

For travellers coming from Switzerland's larger cities, the Ajoie is also a way to see a quieter side of the country: forests, farmland and small villages around the border with France.
