The 2024–25 Coupe de France is the 108th season of the main football cup competition of France. The competition was organised by the French Football Federation (FFF) and is open to all clubs in French football, as well as clubs from the overseas departments and territories (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, Tahiti, Réunion, Saint Martin, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon). Due to the 2024 New Caledonia unrest, clubs from New Caledonia did not participate in this year's competition.

The defending champions are Paris Saint-Germain, who defeated Lyon 2–1 in the previous year's final for a record-extending fifteenth Coupe de France title.^[1]

Dates for the first two qualifying rounds, and any preliminaries required, were set by the individual Regional leagues. From round three, the FFF defined the calendar, with rounds up to and including the round of 32 being scheduled for weekends and later rounds up to, but not including, the final, taking place on midweek evenings.^[2]

The 155 qualified clubs from the 6th round are joined by the 18 Ligue 2 clubs as well as the overseas representatives of Mayotte and Tahiti. Due to the riots and its consequences, no club from New Caledonia participated in this edition.

Of the two overseas clubs entering the 7th round, only the club representing Tahiti, AS Dragon, plays at home against a mainland club according to the rule of biannual alternation (Métropole/Outre-Mer), the Mayotte representative, Diables Noirs, must travel to mainland France, Mayotte not having an approved stadium to host this type of meeting.

A draw to determine the club which travels to Tahiti in Round 7, and then French Guiana, and Réunion in Round 8 takes place from a list of candidate clubs from mainland France, having expressed the wish to travel overseas while the Mayotte club is included in the main draw. Should an allocated team be knocked out in Round 7, the draw will move down the list to the next team, and this team will travel overseas. Overseas teams can only play one match at home against a mainland team, should they advance from Round 8 they will have to travel to France for the later rounds. The draw took place on October 29 2024.

The 173 teams are divided into nine distinct groups of equal level and geography to avoid long travel.

Due to the withdrawal of the New Caledonia representative, a drawn club received a bye from this round and directly qualified for the 8th round. This team was FC Rouen 1899.

2 Teams each from French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion will face each other internally to decide their respective representative for Round 8.

This tie was drawn on 29 October 2024.

These ties were drawn on 30 October 2024 and include Diables Noirs travelling to France from Mayotte.

The winners of Round 7, along with FC Rouen 1899 (who received a bye) are divided into nine distinct groups. The matches are scheduled to be played from 29 November to 1 December, except for the match between USC Corte and Mayotte team Diables Noirs, which was played on 20 November.^[6] USSA Vertou was given a technical win in their Round 7 match with Etoile Maritime FC; as a result, US Philibertine, who were initially designated to travel overseas during the draw, will host Pau FC.^[7]
