Promotion and Relegation

Due to the restructuring of the French football leagues, this season will be the last with 20 teams as its number will be reduced to 18 teams the following season.[1] The top two teams will be promoted to 2024–25 Ligue 1, while teams from 3rd to 5th will be playing with the 16th-placed team from 2023–24 Ligue 1 in the promotion play-offs. The four last teams will be relegated to 2024–25 Championnat National.

Stadiums and locations

  • ^ Since the Stade Guy-Piriou is not suitable for Ligue 2 regulations, Concarneau will be playing at both the Stade Francis-Le Blé in Brest and the Stade du Moustoir in Lorient.[2]
