Spikeball joins Paris Saint-Germain’s cultural events in Los Angeles, New York
Spikeball landed in PSG’s La Maison in Los Angeles, then headed to Union Square, in a push to sell roundnet as more than a park game.
Paris Saint-Germain used its Ici C’est Paris La Maison concept to bring Spikeball into the middle of two of the country’s biggest cultural markets, first in Los Angeles and then in New York City. The pitch was bigger than a football pop-up: PSG framed the activations as a way to blend sport, fashion, music, gastronomy, innovation and well-being, while Spikeball brought its own roundnet identity into the mix.
The Los Angeles stop ran June 11 to 14 at the Hollywood Athletic Club on Sunset Boulevard, where PSG turned the building into what it called an immersive destination. The club said the event was open to all, and its Los Angeles program placed Spikeball inside The Playground, the central living space of La Maison, alongside a café, kid zone, F1 simulator and photobooth. That setup mattered as much as the branding. This was not a standard product table or a one-off appearance; it was an attempt to fold Spikeball into a broader lifestyle scene where families, fans and curious passersby could encounter the game alongside other hands-on attractions.
PSG said the U.S. stops followed “a remarkable success in the United States last summer” and the momentum from earlier La Maison editions in London, Tokyo and Shanghai. The New York edition is set for June 17 to 21 at Union Square in Manhattan, where PSG described the space as a temporary cultural hub bringing sport, culture, gastronomy, music, innovation and wellness together in the heart of the city. If Los Angeles tested the idea in a Hollywood setting built for image and experience, New York will put the same concept into a denser, faster-moving urban environment with a different mix of sports fans, commuters and neighborhood foot traffic.
For Spikeball, the partnership gives a niche sport a stage beside one of soccer’s most recognizable global brands. The company says it has built roundnet since 2008, growing from “garage rallies” to global tours. It now operates its own tournament structure, including the Spikeball Tour Series and a college roundnet series, proof that the brand is already trying to organize play at multiple levels, not just sell equipment.
The real test is whether PSG’s cultural cache can do something Spikeball has long chased on its own: move the game beyond beaches, parks and pickup circles, and into the kind of mainstream lifestyle spaces where a sport starts to feel like part of the city’s rhythm.
