• ¹ Bastia failed to reach an agreement with the local government on the use of Stade Armand Cesari, the local professional stadium. As a result, they will play in their smaller original stadium, Stade d'Erbajolo, after a minor renovation. During this renovation, the team will play its home games in Stade Claude-Papi in Porto-Vecchio, after playing its first two home games at Stade Charles-Ehrmann in Nice, and Stade Jean-Filippi in Vescovato.^[1]
