Coupe de France Draw: A Paris derby and more!
The draw for the Round of 32 in the Coupe de France has thrown up several interesting ties for the Ligue 1 McDonald's clubs remaining in the competition -- get the latest with our roundup of the draw.
Two weekends, two Paris derbies
Just a week after they're set to square off in Ligue 1 McDonald's at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain and Paris FC will face each other once more in the Round of 32 of the Coupe de France, both capital sides having advanced with impressive victories over lower-league opposition. It will mark a busy start to the year 2026 for PSG, who will have the Trophée des Champions midweek against Olympique de Marseille between the two games.
Elsewhere, AS Monaco will take on third-tier Orléans after being Auxerre earlier today in the only all-Ligue 1 Round of 64 tie, while Olympique de Marseille will face the lowest side left in the competition, sixth-tier FC Bayeux of the Ligue de Normandie, who opened their campaign with an upset of SM Caen. FC Metz will host Montpellier HSC, while their eastern rivals RC Strasbourg will travel to face Avranches.

A rematch of the 2022 final
Most Ligue 1 McDonald's sides have avoided each other, but besides the Paris derby, there are few further all-top flight encounters, including a rematch of the 2022 Coupe de France final between FC Nantes and OGC Nice, the latter of whom snapped a lengthy losing streak against AS Saint-Étienne earlier today. SCO Angers and Toulouse FC will also face each other, while Olympique Lyonnais, should they beat amateurs St. Cyr today, will be rewarded with a tough trip to face LOSC Lille.
RC Lens will travel to face Sochaux, currently playing in the National, while FC Lorient have been drawn against fifth-tier Hauts-Lyonnais. Stade Rennais will also be on the road, playing against US Chantilly.
