The 2023–24 Coupe de France preliminary rounds make up the qualifying competition to decide which teams take part in the main competition from the seventh round. This is the 107th season of the main football cup competition of France. The competition is organised by the French Football Federation (FFF) and is 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). Due to Ligue 1 was reduced to 18 teams, meaning that 46 winners will advance to the round of 64 from round 8, a total of 164 teams qualified for round 7 from this process this season, rather than the usual 156.
The six (or more, if required) preliminary rounds are organised by the 13 Regional leagues from the mainland, and the 6 Regional leagues of the overseas departments and territories. They take place between May and November 2023.
Although all mainland regions follow a set schedule from the third round, regions are allowed to set their own schedules for earlier rounds, including any preliminaries required. The general schedule published by the FFF saw all rounds return to their usual dates, after changes last season due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[1] The Paris-Île-de-France league chose to hold their early rounds at the end of the 2022–23 season, rather the normal August dates.[2]
Overseas territories organise their own qualifying tournaments, aligning with entry into the main tournament at the seventh round.
