USA Perpignan escaped another difficult Top 14 campaign in 2025-26, finishing 13th before beating Provence Rugby 47-24 in the relegation playoff. But USAP enters the new season with reason to aim higher.
The headline move was signing All Blacks wing Sevu Reece, adding elite finishing to a team searching for more attacking firepower.

Can the revamped Catalans turn ambition into a climb up the standings? American fans can follow the answer all season, with the Top 14 streaming live on FloRugby in the United States.
Sevu Reece Gives USA Perpignan A New Attacking Weapon
Reece changes the attraction level immediately.
The New Zealand wing arrives with 37 All Blacks caps and 22 international tries. Perpignan's attack has leaned on physical ball carriers, territory and pressure, but Reece gives Laurent Labit's team a dangerous finisher capable of making wider attacking opportunities count.
USAP still needs to create those opportunities. If it can produce quicker ball and get Reece into space, however, Perpignan possesses a weapon capable of changing matches.

Can USAP Rugby Finally Climb The Top 14 Table?
This season does not have to be another story solely about survival.
Perpignan went 6-20 and conceded a league-high 797 points in 2025-26, but the club responded by adding talent rather than standing still. Cédrate Gomes Sa strengthens the front row, while Reece raises the backline's ceiling.
The challenge is converting improved personnel into consistency. Defense remains the biggest obstacle, while the departures of Tommaso Allan and the retired Benjamin Urdapilleta leave important questions around game management and goal kicking.
A move toward mid-table would represent meaningful progress.
Stade Aimé-Giral And Catalan Rugby Remain Worth Watching
Stade Aimé-Giral is central to understanding Perpignan.
The approximately 14,600-capacity ground combines compact stands with intense support rooted in USAP's Catalan identity. Perpignan demonstrated its potential there in 2024-25 by going 9-2 at home, although that advantage weakened the following season.
Reestablishing Aimé-Giral as a reliable source of victories could be one of the keys to USAP climbing the table in 2026-27.
