- Promotion play-offs: The end-of-season playoff involved the 3rd–5th placed teams in Ligue 2 and the 16th-placed team in Ligue 1. Metz beat Reims 4–2 on aggregate to return to Ligue 1; Reims were relegated to Ligue 2. Clermont Foot beat Boulogne 4–3 on aggregate and stayed in Ligue 2. Boulogne were promoted following Ajaccio’s administrative relegation.
