2020–21 Coupe de France
The 2020–21 Coupe de France is the 104th season of the main football cup competition of France. The competition is organised by the French Football Federation (FFF) and is normally open to all clubs in French football, as well as clubs from the overseas departments and territories (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, New Caledonia, Tahiti, Réunion, Saint Martin, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon). Due to the travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club from Saint Pierre and Miquelon did not progress beyond the second round [lower-alpha 1] and qualifying clubs from New Caledonia and Tahiti did not participate.

The competition was paused on 28 October 2020, when France entered a second period of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 17 December 2020, the FFF announced a new format to allow the competition to complete. On 22 December 2020, the FFF announced a plan to resume the competition from 31 January 2021.
Paris Saint-Germain are the defending champions.
Dates
Dates for the first two qualifying round were set by the individual Regional leagues. The original calendar had the remaining qualifying rounds, the seventh and eight round, and the round of 64 taking place on weekends. The later rounds up to, but not including, the final, would take place on midweek evenings. The final would take place on Saturday 24 April 2021.[1]
On 28 October 2020, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a second COVID-19 lockdown, including the suspension of all amateur football, for four weeks.[2] The following day, the FFF confirmed the suspension of senior football at all levels below Championnat National. This caused the suspension of the competition, and the postponement of the sixth round and remaining fifth round matches.[3] On 17 November 2020, the FFF formally announced the postponement of the seventh and eighth round until January 2021.[4]
On 22 December 2020, the FFF announced a plan to resume the competition from 31 January 2021, subject to COVID-19 restrictions being removed as planned.[5]
On 19 January 2021, the ministère des sports gave the go-ahead for amateur clubs involved in the competition to resume training, and the FFF produced a new calendar for the amateur path and the final stages.[6]

Notable rule changes
Following the changes introduced regarding Guadeloupe, French Guiana and Martinique last year,[7] teams from Réunion and Mayotte will also play an internal match in the seventh round. This means an additional team qualifying to the seventh round from Mayotte.[8]
Ligue 2 sides will join the competition at the eighth round, a change which the FFF state is only for this season's competition.[8] This means fewer teams will qualify from each region's preliminary rounds.[8]
Other than the final, there will be no extra time in fixtures this season. Tied matches will be settled by penalty kicks after 90 minutes.[9]
On 22 October 2020, the FFF announced that clubs from New Caledonia and Tahiti would not participate in the seventh round due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Two clubs will be awarded byes to the eighth round. A decision was to follow on 12 November 2020 regarding other overseas teams participating in the eighth round.[10]
On 25 November 2020, the FFF announced that the seventh round winners from Réunion, Guadeloupe, Mayotte and French Guiana would play their eighth round matches against each other in December, rather than being integrated into the main eighth round draw when the competition restarts. The competition in Martinique would restart at the seventh round when the mainland tournament restarts.[11]
On 17 December 2020, the FFF announced a change of format to avoid cancelling the competition due to a lack of available dates. The competition will be divided into two parts: A professional path, involving teams from Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, and an amateur path, involving mainland teams qualifying from the preliminary rounds and the overseas qualifiers. The amateur path will be straight knockout over two rounds (seventh, eighth), taking 124 qualifiers down to 31. The three overseas qualifiers re-join the competition for the round of 64, resulting in 17 qualifiers at the end of the path. The professional path will start at the eighth round with the 20 Ligue 2 teams. The winners will be joined by the 20 Ligue 1 teams for the round of 64, resulting in 15 qualifiers at the end of the path. The two paths will join for the Round of 32, and the rest of the competition will be straight knockout.[12][13]
Teams
Round 1 to 6
The first six rounds, and any preliminaries required, are organised by the Regional Leagues and the Overseas Territories, who allow teams from within their league structure to enter at any point up to the third round. Teams from Championnat National 3 enter at the third round, those from Championnat National 2 enter at the fourth round and those from Championnat National enter at the fifth round.[14]
The number of teams entering at each qualifying round was as follows:
