From this point on, the Coupe de France is serious. After a good ten rounds, the dream competition of French football fans arrived at the 32nd final stage, the one where the Ligue 1 clubs take the field.
To fit all the matches into a weekend, broadcasters are used to making multiplexes, in which they follow several matches simultaneously and display the highlights. The 2025 vintage is no exception to the rule with a first multiplex scheduled for Friday December 19.
On the program: Ligue 1 clubs, like Brest, which will go to Avranches (N2), or Lens, leader ahead of PSG, which will host its neighbor Feignies-Aulnoye (N2) in Bollaert-Delelis. The surprising Angers, 10th in Ligue 1, will go to a regular in Cup epics, Les Herbiers (N2), finalist in 2018.
Other professional clubs will challenge amateurs, or at least semi-pros, like Croix (N3) which will host Reims (L2). One of the Little Thumbs of the competition, Périgny, will host Le Mans (L2), at the same time as Montpellier which will remain in the South, in Canet-en-Roussillon (N3).
The kickoff for all matches at this multiplex is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. They will be followed on the BeIN Sports channels, while BeIN Sports 2 will broadcast the multiplex.
