On January 25, athletics returns to the Accor Arena

The Meeting de Paris Indoor 2026 will be back on Sunday 25 January from 4:00 p.m., in an Accor Arena that has built a loyal, passionate and family-oriented audience over the years. The previous edition brought together just over 11,000 spectators, a sign of the growing appeal of this winter event organized by the FFA (Fédération Française d’Athlétisme).

Last year, fans were thrilled by the performances of the French team, in particular Just Kwaou-Mathey and Wilhem Belocian, joint winners of the 60 m hurdles. The crowd also turned out in force to support the jump specialists, in the wake of the momentum created at the World Championships in Tokyo, where the French athletes Thibaut Collet, Renaud Lavillenie, Ethan Cormont in the pole vault and Hilary Kpatcha in the long jump ranked among the world’s best. This context naturally raises expectations ahead of the 2026 edition.

Finally, the FFA has announced that the start list will soon be published on its official website, allowing athletics fans to discover the athletes who will compete on the track at the Accor Arena.
The programme may change depending on confirmed entries and technical adjustments.

A balanced programme: 7 events at the heart of the meeting

The Fédération Française d’Athlétisme is renewing the meeting’s traditional events, built around short, high-tempo disciplines that are very well suited to the indoor format.

60 m Women and Men

The 60 m highlights sprinters’ acceleration over a short distance, where reaction time out of the blocks is crucial. It is a straightforward event to follow and always popular for its dynamism.

60 m Hurdles Women and Men

The 60 m hurdles combines speed and precision. Recent French performances make it one of the most anticipated races, especially after the joint victory of Kwaou-Mathey and Belocian at the finish line in the previous edition.

Men’s Pole Vault

Pole vault remains one of the signature disciplines of the Meeting de Paris Indoor. French vaulters are among the most consistent at international level, which traditionally draws strong interest from the public.

Long Jump Women and Men

The long jump competition brings together women and men in a single, alternating event. This format offers a smooth rhythm, ideal for a discipline based on approach speed and quality of take-off.
