20-year-old Hugo Auradou and 21-year-old Oscar Jegou were arrested last month after a 39-year-old woman filed a complaint accusing them of raping her.
The incident is alleged to have occurred at a hotel after the trio met at a nightclub.
If found guilty, the players face a minimum sentence of eight years in prison.
They have denied the allegations.
