The 2016 Coupe de la Ligue final was the 22nd final of France's football league cup competition, the Coupe de la Ligue, a competition for the 42 teams that the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) manages. The final took place on 23 April 2016 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis and was contested by reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain, and Lille.
