Paris 92 are set to host Metz in the Ligue Butagaz Énergie women's handball competition on Friday, 29 August 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 21:46. Both sides enter the fixture untested this season, each listed with zero games played and zero points in the standings.
The hosts occupy second place in the table, having followed a mixed run of results in May. They beat Stella Saint-Mor 32-29 before losing to Chambray Touraine, Brest Bretagne, and Plan-de-Cuques. A 28-28 draw with Sambr Avesnois rounded out their recent campaign.
Metz come into the match as table leaders, though that position carries no weight yet with no fixtures completed. Their most recent outing saw them beat NFH 29-24 on 21 August, adding to a series of victories over Győr, Aschenheim, Plan-de-Cuques, and Stella Saint-Mor.
Neither side has accumulated any points or goal difference, meaning the standings offer no indication of strength at this stage. The fixture will be the first test for both clubs as the new campaign begins.
Paris 92 have shown they can compete at this level, with their strongest result coming against Stella Saint-Mor. Metz look sharper on paper, having won their last four matches, including a 50-25 thrashing of Stella Saint-Mor in May.
The match will determine early momentum in a league where every game matters. Both teams will be looking to set the tone from the opening weekend.
