Ligue 2 is the second division of French football. It is one of two divisions making up the LFP, the other being Ligue 1, which is France's top division.
The 20 clubs that make up Ligue 2 play each other twice during the season, creating a 38-match schedule. At the end of the season, the top three clubs are promoted to Ligue 1 for the following season, while the bottom three clubs of Ligue 1 are relegated to Ligue 2. The bottom three teams of Ligue 2 are relegated to the Championnat National.
