The defending champions were Saint-Étienne, who defeated Rennes 1–0 in the final of the previous season.[2] They were eliminated in the Last 16 by eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain, who won their record fourth title by defeating Lyon 2–1 in the final.
The winner of the competition should have qualified for the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League and be inserted into the third qualifying round, but Paris Saint-Germain had already qualified for the Champions League via their league position.
