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.
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.[6]
| Priority | Mainland team | Tie allocated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Seventh round in New Caledonia | ||
| 2 | Eighth round in Guadeloupe | ||
