Teams

DNCG rulings

The DNCG ruled that Le Mans FC, who was relegated in 2012–13 Ligue 2, was relegated to the Division Honneur due to financial reasons.^[1] FC Rouen, who ended as 5th on the 2012–13 Championnat National, was relegated to the Division Honneur due to the club accounting and its debts.^[2] Also, CS Sedan Ardennes, who was relegated in 2012–13 Ligue 2, was relegated to the Championnat de France amateur 2 due to its judiciary liquidation.

The teams were replaced by FC Bourg-Péronnas who ended the 15th position, ES Uzès Pont du Gard (16th) and Paris FC (17th). The three teams were supposed to be relegated in the 2012–13 Championnat National, as it had plans to change its number to 18 teams in this division.

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
(C) Champions; (D) Disqualified; (P) Promoted; (R) Relegated
Notes:

1. Luzenac were originally promoted to the Ligue 2, but were denied a license. Then they found out they didn’t have a stadium that fitted any requirements, so they were relegated to the Regional 1.
2. On 20 Mar 2014, the president of Carquefou declared that the club will not be able to have financial means to continue on the Championnat National in the next season. The club would be sent back to the Regional 1.^[3]
3. Fréjus were penalised two competition points.
4. Vannes were penalised three competition points. Then they were not granted a license for the CFA, meaning they have to play in the DSE.
5. Uzès Pont du Gard were relegated to the Regional 1 because they had no money and they were bankrupt.
