Coupe de France 2026 Quarter-Finals Set for Exciting Showdowns and Broadcasts

The 2026 Coupe de France quarter-finals are underway from March 3 to March 5, 2026, featuring seven Ligue 1 clubs and one Ligue 2 club, Reims. This stage follows the surprising elimination of Paris Saint-Germain, the two-time defending champion, by Paris FC in the round of 16, opening the field for other teams to vie for the title.

The quarter-final matchups are: Strasbourg vs. Reims on March 3 at 21:00, Lorient vs. Nice on March 4 at 20:30, followed by Olympique de Marseille (OM) vs. Toulouse at 21:00, and the highly anticipated Olympique Lyonnais (OL) vs. RC Lens on March 5 at 21:10. All games will be aired live on beIN Sports, with the OL-Lens clash also broadcast on France Télévisions, expanding audience accessibility.

OM faces mounting pressure to win their first trophy in 14 years, energised by recent successes under their new coach Habib Beye, while OL aims to bounce back from a recent slump to secure silverware after previous disappointments. Lens, having lost three finals previously, seeks its inaugural trophy. Meanwhile, Strasbourg enters as a favorite against Reims, the sole Ligue 2 team left.

These fixtures promise competitive football, as the quarter-finals intensify the battle for France's prestigious cup, with coverage on beIN Sports and RMC Sport offering live commentary, plus the notable joint coverage of the Lyon-Lens game on France 2.
