The veteran midfielder arrived at the capital club from LA Galaxy in January, but will need to build up his fitness before making his long-awaited PSG debut.
"Beckham will not play [on Sunday], but will stay in Paris to train," the 53-year-old told reporters.
"We need another week to improve his physical condition, and then he will be ready. There are no egos here at this club. David arrived with a good relationship with everyone here, and there is absolutely no problem."
Les Parisiens earned a hard-fought Champions League win away to Valencia in midweek, but Ancelotti insists his charges have the necessary motivation and stamina to keep up their Ligue 1 title charge.
"I don't think we will lack what is needed against Sochaux, despite just playing a team of Valencia's quality," he continued.
"They are a team that plays good football, and I think you will see a good game on Sunday."
