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, five teams will be relegated from each group to their respective top regional league, subject to reprieves, as a result of the restructuring of the French leagues.[24] Extra teams are relegated from a group if more than one team is relegated to that group from Championnat National 2. In the case that no teams are relegated to a group from Championnat National 2, one less team is relegated from that group to the regional league.[25]

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.

Promotion

[edit]

Libourne, La Roche, Avoine Chinon, Cannes, Mâcon, Biesheim, Feignies Aulnoye, Vire, Dinan Léhon, Aubervilliers and Bourgoin-Jallieu were champions of each group, and were promoted to 2023–24 Championnat National 2. Béziers finished top of their group, but were denied promotion by the DNCG, and failed to appeal successfully.[53][54] Toulouse (res) were promoted as runners-up.

Relegation

[edit]

A total of 60 teams were initially relegated due to finishing in the bottom five places in each group. Reprieves are required to maintain the correct number of teams in the division, in light of any administrative relegations from this or higher divisions enacted by the FFF and DNCG.

Reprieves

[edit]

Any reprieve required will initially go to the tenth placed team in Group D, EUGA Ardziv. Any reprieves required beyond this will come from the tenth-placed team with the best record against the teams placed sixth to ninth in their group.[55]

Ranking of tenth placed teams.[56]
Pos Team Pts
1 Chambray 15 Reprieved
2 Pontivy 13 Reprieved
3 Bordeaux (res) 12 Reprieved
4 Dives-Cabourg 12 Reprieved
5 Chambéry 11 Reprieved
6 Schiltigheim 11 Relegated
7 Les Ulis 10 Relegated
8 Le Mans (res) 9 Relegated
9 Aigues-Mortes 9 Relegated
10 Maubeuge 9 Relegated
11 Morteau-Montlebon 3 Relegated

Subject to any appeals to be enacted, reprieves are required due to the following administrative decisions:

  • Poissy and Évreux were excluded from National competitions by the DNCG, and will not take their place in National 3, having been relegated from 2022–23 Championnat National 2.[57] Poissy appealed unsuccessfully against the decision.[58]
  • C'Chartres Football were administratively relegated to Régional 1, in addition to being relegated from 2022–23 Championnat National 2.[59] The decision was confirmed on appeal.[58]
  • FC Sète 34 were placed into receivership, which automatically triggered an administrative relegation. Due to finishing in the 2022–23 Championnat National 2 relegation places, they will therefore be relegated at least to Régional 1.[60]
  • Cherbourg were excluded from National competitions by the Ligue de Normandie, and will be relegated to Régional 3.[61][62]
  • Sedan were excluded from national competition by the DNCG appeals committee, after unsuccessfully appealing their demotion from 2022–23 Championnat National.[63]

Additionally:

  • Canet Roussillon FC were initially administratively relegated to Régional 1, in addition to being relegated from 2022–23 Championnat National 2, but successfully appealed the decision.[64][58]
