The competition for the Coupe de France in the 2016/17 season was the 100th edition of the French football cup for men's teams. Last year's winner Paris Saint-Germain FC defended their title again and won the trophy for the eleventh time. Final opponent SCO Angers was in a final again after exactly 60 years and lost again.
This season, 7,290 clubs from France and its overseas departments and territories took part.

During the third and second division clubs as well as eleven participants from seven French overseas territories already in the regional of the subdivisions of the National Association French Football Federation (FFF) organized qualifying rounds must engage in competition - the third division in the fifth, the two The latter groups in the 7th round - for the first division team - and possibly a lower-class defending champion - the competition only begins with the thirty-second finals (start of the main competition). Only in this round will the 64 qualified clubs nationwide be divided into four regional pots of 16 teams each, in which approximately the same number of teams belonging to the same league should be represented. From the sixteenth finals on, this presorting is no longer applicable and the competition will only be played according to the classic cup mode: fixtures are drawn from all clubs still in the competition without seed lists and only one game is played at the end of which a winner has to be determined (even if it is through Extra time and penalty shoot-outs), which then qualifies for the next round while the loser is eliminated. Home rights are also determined by drawing lots for each match, but with the restriction that clubs that have to compete against an eleven that are at least two league levels higher are automatically given home rights.

The lower-class clubs also fought for the title as the most successful outsider, which was associated with cash prizes. This side competition, which is currently mainly sponsored by PMU , is officially called Classement des Petits Poucets (in German: "Däumlingsprüfung"). The lowest-class club in the main round was FC Istres , a former first division player who has now crashed into the seventh division (Division d'Honneur Régionale) . As in the previous two years, a team from France's overseas possessions - this time AS Excelsior Saint-Joseph from La Réunion  - was in this main round. In the quarter-finals, the last remaining amateur club, fourth division Étoile Fréjus-Saint-Raphaël , ended the cup course in this "anniversary competition".
