Coupe de France Eighth Finals: Marseille vs Rennes and Other Key Matches Broadcast Live

The 2026 Coupe de France has reached its round of 16, with 16 professional teams competing for a spot in the quarter-finals from February 3 to 5. Notably, there are no amateur teams left after Bayeux was eliminated by Olympique de Marseille (OM) in the previous round, marking a clean slate of professional clubs for this stage, highlighting the tournament's evolving commercial landscape.

Among the highly anticipated fixtures, OM hosts Stade Rennais at the Stade Vélodrome on February 3 at 21:10. OM, coming off a disappointing Champions League exit following a 3-0 defeat to Club Bruges and a recent 2-2 draw with Paris FC after leading by two goals, faces pressure to revive their form. Coach Roberto de Zerbi emphasized resilience, stating, "We work and try to give the maximum as usual. I take my responsibilities. We must try to hold on in difficult moments." Rennes also enters this match under strain, having suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Monaco in their last Ligue 1 match. Both teams reinforced their squads during the winter window and are eager to capitalize on the absence of the defending champion Paris Saint-Germain, who have been eliminated earlier from this season’s competition.

Additional notable clashes include Strasbourg versus Monaco, Olympique Lyonnais (OL) facing Laval, and Lens against Troyes, all promising intense encounters. Another match on February 3 features Reims hosting Le Mans at 20:30 at Stade Auguste-Delaune, with Reims winning their last meeting 1-0 in Ligue 2.

Broadcast coverage for these matches will be comprehensive across beIN SPORTS channels, with the Marseille-Rennes game also airing on France 2. The live action kicks off Tuesday evening at 20:30 and continues through Thursday at 21:00, allowing football fans to follow all 16 teams’ quests to the quarter-finals.

This round of the Coupe de France remains a critical test of club ambitions amid shifting tournament dynamics, and Marseille particularly seeks a much-needed second wind. As the competition narrows, fans can expect high-stakes drama and quality football on display across France’s premier knock-out cup competition.
