Teams
editChanges
editRed Star (promoted after 5 years absence) and Martigues (promoted return after 22 years absence). Since Ligue 2 is reducing in size, 4 teams will be relegated and only 2 promoted,[1] so Troyes, Quevilly-Rouen, Concarneau, and Valenciennes will be relegated[2] (after 1, 3, 1, and 10 seasons in the second division respectively). Troyes has now been relegated in two consecutive seasons and Valenciennes had been in the third division last in 2004–05. From Ligue 1, Metz, Lorient and Clermont Foot have been relegated to Ligue 2 (after 1, 4 and 3 years absence respectively).[2] Auxerre, Angers and Saint-Étienne were promoted to Ligue 1 after one-year absence for the first two and two-year absence for the last one.[3]
On June 27, 2024, the Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion (DNCG) decided to administratively downgrade Ajaccio to Championnat National by questioning the financial situation of the club, although it was profitable at the end of the 2022–2023 season.[4]
However, Troyes is back in Ligue 2 following a request approved by the Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion.[5]
