Promotion and relegation

edit

If eligible, the top team in each group is promoted to Championnat National 2. If a team finishing top of the group is ineligible, or declines promotion, the next eligible team in that group is promoted.

This season a total of 40 teams will be relegated to Régional 1, as a result of the restructuring of the French leagues.[5][6] This will result in teams finishing in the bottom three places being relegated, along with the four worst eleventh-placed clubs, calculated from results against the teams placed 5th to 10th in their group.[7] Initially, it was planned the worst tenth was to be relegated, but the administrative relegation of FC Girondins de Bordeaux changed that.[8]

Reserve teams whose training centres are categorised as category 2B or lower cannot be promoted to Championnat National 2 by the rules of the competition.
