Remaining District 2, District 1 and Régional 2 teams entered at the first round stage on 30 August 2020. Teams from Régional 1 entered at the second round stage on 6 September 2020.[ 3]
The third round draw, which saw the teams from Championnat National 3 enter, took place on 9 September 2020.[ 4] The fourth round draw, which saw the teams from Championnat National 2 enter, took place on 24 September 2020.[ 5] The fifth round draw was made on 8 October 2020.[ 6] The sixth round draw was made on 22 October 2020.[ 7]
