With a clear desire to win the Coupe de France this season, the Parisians will have to overcome a major hurdle in the semi-finals: a perilous trip to Montpellier. MHB denied Les Rouge et Bleu the title in last season's competition and currently occupy third place in the Liqui Moly StarLigue.
Nevertheless, it was Stefan Madsen's men who came out on top in their last meeting, winning convincingly at Coubertin last November (34-31). To reach the semi-finals, Montpellier eliminated Aix (34-27) in the quarters, after beating ProLigue teams in the round of 16 and round of 32.
Both semi-finals will take place in the south of France, with Nîmes hosting Nantes on the other side of the draw. The matches are scheduled for 14 and 15 April 2026.
