Roller Derby World Cup 2026 in Orléans: Experience the Event from the Heart of the City

Orléans is about to make history in the world of sport. From April 30 to May 3, 2026, the city hosts the Men’s Roller Derby World Cup+ (MRDWC 2026) — an unprecedented international event in France, organised by the MRDA in partnership with the Fédération Française de Roller et Skateboard and the local association Orléans Roller Derby.

4 Days of International Competition in the Heart of Orléans

For four days, the Palais des Sports and the gymnase Claude Robert transform into arenas welcoming the world’s best men’s+ roller derby teams. Skate clashes, razor-sharp strategies, electric atmosphere, and a passionate, inclusive sports community — roller derby is far more than a sport. It’s a culture.

And you have the chance to be there. So why not make the most of it with accommodation that’s truly up to the event?

Urban Jungle Hôtel: Your Perfect Base for These 4 Days

Located right in the centre of Orléans, Urban Jungle Hôtel is just a short walk from both competition venues — the Palais des Sports and the gymnase Claude Robert. No need for a car, no logistical stress: you’ll walk back after each day’s matches to a cosy, nature-inspired setting designed for real rest and recovery.

Flexible breakfast hours, rooms designed for comfort, and an eco-responsible ethos certified with the Clef Verte label: this is where you genuinely recharge before heading back to the track.

🤫 Word in our corridors has it that an international team may well have chosen us as their home base... but shh, we said nothing. Let’s just say our hallways sometimes echo with the sound of wheels. 😉
