### Round 7

The 153 qualifiers from the Regional Leagues were joined by the 11 qualifiers from the Overseas Territories and 20 2023–24 Ligue 2 teams. The qualifiers from Réunion, Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guiana played off in internal matches.

#### Overseas teams

* ↑ Winner of 2022–23 Tahiti Cup.
* ↑ Winner of 2023 New Caledonia Cup.

### Round 8

The eighth round ties for mainland matches were defined at the same time as the seventh round draw. The winners of the seventh round matches in Martinique and Guadeloupe played their eighth round matches at home against teams from mainland France, from a prioritised list of teams who were both willing to travel and still in the competition. If the team from Tahiti were to win their seventh round tie, this eighth round match would take place overseas, and be drawn from the same list. Teams from Réunion and French Guiana were slotted into the draw where gaps appeared due to mainland teams being selected to travel overseas.

#### Prioritised order of mainland teams

The prioritised list of mainland teams willing to travel overseas was published on 31 October 2023, along with the priority list of ties they would be allocated to should they remain in the competition beyond the seventh round.
| Priority | Mainland team | Tie allocated |
| 1 | US Thionville Lusitanos | Seventh round in New Caledonia |
| 2 | FC Fleury 91 | Eighth round in Guadeloupe |

### Round of 64

The 46 qualifying teams from Round 8 were joined by the 18 2023–24 Ligue 1 teams. 32 ties were drawn in regional groups.

### Later rounds

Later rounds were open draws with no regional grouping.

## Seventh round

The draw for the seventh round took place in multiple stages:
* The seventh round in Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana and Réunion took place between the two qualifying teams from each territory, and was drawn and scheduled by the local league.
* The Overseas tie involving the team from New Caledonia was drawn separately on 31 October 2023, against a team from the list of those willing to travel.
* Mainland teams were divided into nine groups, primarily by geography, but also ensuring the groups were balanced in terms of the levels of the teams. The teams from Mayotte and Tahiti were included in these groups, but were drawn away from home. Groups were published on 1 November 2023. The mainland draw took place later on 1 November 2023.

### Overseas team hosting mainland team

This tie was drawn on 31 October 2023.

### Mainland ties

#### Group 7D

* ↑ Match postponed due to an unplayable pitch.

#### Group 7F

* ↑ Initially, the tie was reversed from the draw, as Étoile Maritime FC were unable to secure a suitable stadium in time. Subsequently, Trélissac-Antonne Périgord FC attempted to move the match from the original pitch at Stade Firmin Daudou to a synthetic pitch, due to pitch conditions. Étoile Maritime FC appealed and the match will now take place in La Rochelle, with Étoile Maritime FC at home, on 25 November 2023. The match was further rescheduled for 2 December after the assistant coach of Étoile Maritime FC, Najib Akhannich, died in his sleep on the night of Thursday 23 November to Friday 24 November and his family asked the French Football Federation to postpone the match, which was accepted.

#### Group 7I
## Eighth round

The draw for the eighth round took place at the same time as the seventh round, with seventh round ties being paired together.

On 13 December 2023, the FFF announced it had upheld the report, and that Dunkerque qualified for the next round.
