2022–23 Coupe de France

The 2022–23 Coupe de France was the 106th season of the main football cup competition of France. The competition was organised by the French Football Federation (FFF) and was open to all clubs in French football, as well as clubs from the overseas departments and territories (Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Mayotte, New Caledonia, Tahiti, Réunion, Saint Martin, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon).

Nantes were the defending champions, having beaten Nice 1–0 in the previous year's final to claim their fourth Coupe de France title. Toulouse defeated Nantes 5–1 in the 2023 final for a first Coupe de France title.

Dates
Dates for the first two qualifying rounds, and any preliminaries required, were set by the individual Regional leagues. From round three, the FFF defined the calendar, with rounds up to and including the round of 32 being scheduled for weekends and later rounds up to, but not including, the final, taking place on midweek evenings. Due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup taking place in November and December, it was necessary to bring forward the eighth round by a week, compared to previous seasons, impacting the scheduling of earlier rounds. Similarly the timeline of rounds from the round of 64 onwards was compressed.

Round 1 to 6
The first six rounds, and any preliminaries required, were organised by the Regional Leagues and the Overseas Departments/Territories, who allowed teams from within their league structure to enter at any point up to the third round. Teams from Championnat National 3 entered at the third round, those from Championnat National 2 entered at the fourth round and those from Championnat National entered at the fifth round.

The number of teams entering at each qualifying round was as follows:

Round 7
The 145 qualifiers from the Regional Leagues were joined by the 10 qualifiers from the Overseas Territories and 20 2022–23 Ligue 2 teams. The qualifiers from Réunion, Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guiana played off in internal matches.
