Teams

On 15 July 2021, the FFF ratified the constitution of the competition, and published the groups.[1]

Due to the non-completion of the 2020–21 season, the FFF declared that there would be no regular promotion or relegation from the division, and that any vacancies to be filled would be done on the basis of finishing positions in the 2019–20 season.[2][3]

Changes from 2020–21 season are as follows:

Impact of COVID-19 on the season

The start of the season was impacted by postponements due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France. Three opening day games in Group C were postponed due to COVID-19 cases at Saint-Priest, Martigues and Aubagne.[11][12]

The game-week three game between Nantes (res) and Angers (res) was postponed on the preceding Wednesday due to COVID-19 cases at Angers.[13]

Notes:
  1. The match between Le Puy and Canet Roussillon, scheduled for 5 February 2022, was postponed due to COVID-19 cases in the Canet Roussillon team. On 14 April 2022 the FFF found that Canet Roussillon had provided PCR test results with questionable authenticity, in order to justify the postponement of the match. The FFF deducted Canet Roussillon 10 points for the offence. Furthermore, they awarded the postponed match to Le Puy by a scoreline of 3–0, with a further penalty point deducted from Canet Roussillon.[15]
