The Spurs will hold watch parties in both San Antonio and Austin on Saturday, Jan. 25, so home fans can cheer along as the team takes on the Indiana Pacers in Paris.

The San Antonio watch party will be the team’s new training facility at The Rock at La Cantera, 1 Spurs Way. Doors will open at 9:30 a.m. The Spurs-Pacers game will be broadcast live from Paris on ESPN starting at 11 a.m. Central Time.

Specialty French pastries and mimosas will be available for purchase, and the first 100 fans wearing Spurs gear who are of the legal drinking age will receive a free drink ticket.

The watch party will also feature music from DJ Zay Zay, local vendors and a 12-foot tall Eiffel Tower balloon sculpture photo op, according to the Spurs organization.

Meanwhile, Austin fans who attend the watch party at that city’s Armadillo Den, 10106 Menchaca Road, can expect free coffee, macarons, French pastries and dessert starting at 10:30 a.m. game day. Those who attend in Spurs gear will receive a free drink ticket while supplies last.

The Spurs’ Paris matchup with the Pacers is part of the NBA’s international games series, which also included a regular-season contest between the Miami Heat and Washington Wizards in Mexico City in November.
