The Champions Burger in Paris La Défense, August 26–September 20, 2026

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to taste the best burger in the world? We have—and you know what? From Wednesday, August 26, to Sunday, September 20, 2026, you’ll have the chance to do just that. After stops in Lyon and Marne-la-Vallée, Europe’s biggest burger championship is coming to the business district. Head to the La Défense plaza at lunchtime and in the evening to sample some unique burgers!

The audience won't just be there to taste the burgers—they'll also be there to give their opinions. With every bite of your burger, you'll be able to rate it and, maybe, help your favorite win! So put on your chef's hat, sharpen your critical thinking skills, and follow the recipe.

The Champions Burger is a 9,000 m² high-end street food event taking place on the plaza at La Défense. The twenty or so food trucks participating in the event will be serving up their best creations. In addition to enjoying a delicious meal, your mission—should you choose to accept it—is to vote for the grand winner of the first European Burger Championship. And there are many criteria to consider when casting your vote:

• The bun;
• The meat;
• The combination and ingredients;
• The presentation;
• The originality.

Each food truck has just one goal: to win you over by cooking you the best burger of your life!
And rest assured, there will be something for every taste and every dietary preference. On the menu: beef burgers, halal burgers, vegetarian burgers, and even gluten-free burgers!

The Champions Burger is Europe’s first burger championship! Originating in Spain, the festival made its debut in France in 2025. This first French edition attracted nearly 220,000 visitors!

This year, the festival traveled through 3 countries and 64 cities, and now invites you to experience its grand finale in Europe’s leading business district.
