Coupe de France semi-final draw: time and how to watch

According to L'Équipe, the Coupe de France semi-final draw will take place on Thursday 5 March at 19:50, live on France 3. It precedes Lyon’s quarter-final against Lens.

That tie at Groupama Stadium kicks off at 21:10. Both clubs will know a potential opponent before they step onto the pitch.

The last-four matches are scheduled for the week of 20 April, alongside the Ligue 1 meeting between PSG and Nantes that was postponed due to the Champions League round of 16.

This season will feature four Ligue 1 sides in the semi-finals, with no amateur runs as seen in recent years from Le Puy-en-Velay and AS Cannes, both from N2. The standout shock was Paris Saint-Germain going out in the round of 32 to Paris FC.

Former France striker Loïc Rémy will conduct the draw, invited by the Fédération française de football. He previously played for Lyon, Lens, Nice and Marseille.
