Tournoi de Paris de Sumo

On June 13 and 14, 2026, the Accor Arena will host a truly exceptional event presented by David Rothschild and AEG Presents: the Paris Sumo Tournament.

Over 30 years after their last appearance in France, the legendary sumo wrestlers return, with icons like HOSHORYU and ONOSATO set to deliver powerful, tradition-rich bouts filled with emotion and spectacle. These giants of Japanese culture are ready to write a new chapter in the cultural and sporting ties that unite Paris and Tokyo—and it all happens here, at the Accor Arena.

For two days, the Arena will transform into a vibrant window into the Japanese way of life. More than a sporting event, it’s a one-of-a-kind cultural immersion: a journey where every match tells a story, and every movement reflects the soul of Japan.
