Teams leaving the division

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.^[6]^[7] Toulouse (res) were promoted as runners-up.
Mont-de-Marsan, Guéret, Neuville, Portes Entre-Deux-Mers, Pouzauges, Changé, Beaucouzé, La Roche-sur-Yon,Le Mans (res), Montargis, Dreux, Chartres (res), Saint-Jean-le-Blanc, Marignane GCB (res), Nice (res), Carnoux, Quetigny, Montceau, Saint-Apollinaire, Grandvillars, Morteau-Montlebon, Jarville, Illkirch-Graffenstaden, Champigneulles, Épernay, Schiltigheim, Bagnols Pont, Union Saint-Jean, Balma, Rodez (res), Aigues-Mortes, Longueau, Lambres-lez-Douai, AC Amiens, Amiens SC (res), Maubeuge, Mont-Gaillard, Grand-Quevilly, Avranches (res), Gonfreville, US Montagnarde, Dol-de-Bretagne, Brest (res), Cesson, Le Mée, Blanc-Mesnil, Paris Saint-Germain (res), Paris FC (res) and Les Ulis, Montluçon, Lyon La Duchère (res), Aix-les-Bains and Domérat finished in the relegation zones and were relegated to Régional 1 for the 2023–24 season.
Cherbourg were excluded from National competitions by the Ligue de Normandie, and will be relegated to Régional 1.^[8]
Gazélec Ajaccio were placed into liquidation in January 2023, which resulted in their removal from the league and annulment of all their results.^[9]^[10]

AS Béziers

Having been denied promotion, Béziers were placed in Group A when the groups were announced. Subsequently, on 20 July 2023, the DNCG announced Béziers would be downgraded to Régional 1 for financial irregularities.^[11] An appeal followed, which was confirmed as unsuccessful on 31 July 2023.^[12] Because the decision came after the constitution of the competition was ratified, no team will be reprieved and Group A will take place with 13 teams.

Stade Pontivyen and Redon

Although declared as part of the division as champions of their Régional 1 group, Redon were eventually denied their promotion on 25 August 2023, one day before the start of the season, after a protracted legal battle, with Stade Pontivyen being promoted in their place.^[13]

Promotion and relegation

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 37 teams will be relegated to Régional 1, as a result of the restructuring of the French leagues.^[14] 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.^[15]

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.

^ The match between Sainte-Geneviève and Ivry on 3 February 2024 was abandoned in stoppage time after Sainte-Geneviève were awarded a goal by the referee. Ivry protested that the ball had not entered the goal, and did not restart the match. The referee eventually blew the whistle to stop the game and Ivry placed a technical challenge.^[19] On 14 February 2024 it was published that the FFF had penalised Ivry, awarded the match to Sainte-Geneviève by the scoreline of 3–0, and deducted a point from Ivry.^[20]
^ The match between FC Balagne and Orléans (res) on 21 October 2023 did not take place, due to Orléans (res) not having booked plane tickets to Corsica. On 9 November 2023, it was published that the FFF had declared the match forfeit by Orléans, and awarded the tie to Balagne by the standard forfeit scoreline of 3–0, penalising Orléans (res) by deducting a point.^[21]
Orléans (res) were penalised in another match, against Montrouge, after the game which was scheduled for 13 January 2024 had to be postponed due to faulty floodlights, and lack of staff to repair them. The match was awarded to Montrouge by the scoreline of 0–3 and Orléans (res) were deducted another penalty point.^[22]
