2024–25 Championnat National 2 Explained

The 2024–25 Championnat National 2 is the 27th season of the fourth tier in the French football league system in its current format. This season the competition is contested by 48 clubs split geographically across three groups of 16 teams. A total of 11 clubs were promoted from Championnat National 3 and four were relegated from Ligue 2, the tier above. The previous season had 56 clubs in four groups with five relegated clubs each; the reduction in teams is part of a restructuring of the French football league system between 2022 and 2026.^[1]

The teams include amateur clubs (although a few are semi-professional) and the reserve teams of professional clubs. On 1 August 2024, FC Girondins de Bordeaux was relegated from Ligue 2 directly to Championnat National 2 due to being placed in financial administration.^{[2] [3]}
