Teams

On 13 July 2022, the FFF ratified the constitution of the competition, and published the groups.[2]

Changes from the 2021-22 season are:

Teams joining the division
Teams leaving the division

Promotion and Relegation

The top team in each group will be promoted to 2023–24 Championnat National.

Due to the restructuring of the French football leagues, this season the bottom five teams in each group will be relegated to 2023–24 Championnat National 3, along with the two worst performing 11th-placed teams. This performance will be calculated based on the performance of each 11th-placed team in matches against the teams finishing 6th to 10th.[5]

This was due to invalid health certificates for two players. The FFF deducted an additional three points, one each for the other three games the players had participated in.[6]
  2. On 6 December 2022, the DNCG announced a three point deduction for Évreux and a five point deduction for Chartres as a result of financial mismanagement.[7]
