Ligue 2 (French pronunciation:[liɡdø], League 2), also known asLigue 2BKT due to sponsorship reasons, is a French professional football league. The league serves as the second division ofFrench football and is one of two divisions making up theLigue de Football Professionnel (LFP), the other beingLigue 1, the country's top football division. Contested by 18 clubs, it operates on a system ofpromotion and relegation with both Ligue 1 and the third divisionChampionnat National. Seasons run from August to May, with teams playing 34 games each, totalling 306 games in the season. Most games are played on Fridays and Mondays, with a few games played during weekday and weekend evenings. Play is regularly suspended the last weekend before Christmas for two weeks before returning in the second week of January.

Ligue 2 was founded a year after the creation of the first division in 1933 under the nameDivision 2 and has served as the second division of French football ever since. The name lasted until 2002 before switching to its current name. Since the league is a part of the LFP, it allows clubs who are on the brink of professionalism to become so.

History

[edit]

The second division of French football was established in 1933, one year after the creation of the all-professional first division. The inaugural season of the competition consisted of the six clubs who were relegated following the1932–33 National season, as well as many of the clubs who opposed the creation of the first division the previous season. Clubs such asStrasbourg,RC Roubaix, andAmiens SC all played in the second division's debut season despite having prior grievances with the subjective criteria needed to become professional and play in the first division. The first year of the second division consisted of twenty-three clubs and were divided into two groups (Nord andSud). Fourteen of the clubs were inserted into theNord section, while the remaining nine were placed inSud. Following the season, the winner of each group faced each other to determine which club would earn promotion. On 20 May 1934, the winner of theNord group,Red Star Saint-Ouen, facedOlympique Alès, the winner of theSud group. Red Star were crowned the league's inaugural champions following a 3–2 victory. Despite losing, Alès was also promoted to the first division and they were followed byStrasbourg andMulhouse, who each won a pool championship, after the first division agreed to expand its teams to 15.

Due to several clubs merging, folding, or losing their professional status, the federation turned the second division into a 16-team league and adopted the single-table method for the1934–35 season. Due to the unpredictable nature of French football clubs, thefollowing season, the league increased to 19 clubs and,two years later, increased its allotment to 25 teams with the clubs being divided into four groups. Because of World War II, football was suspended by the French government and theLigue de Football Professionnel. Following the end of the war, the second division developed stability. Due to the increase in amateur clubs, the league intertwined professional and amateur clubs and allowed the latter to become professional if they met certain benchmarks. In 2002, the league changed its name fromDivision 2 toLigue 2.

In November 2014, the presidents ofCaen andNîmes were amongst several arrested on suspicion ofmatch fixing. The arrests followed a 1–1 draw between Caen and Nîmes in May 2014, a result very beneficial for each club.[1][2]

Competition format

[edit]

There are 18 clubs in Ligue 2. During the course of a season, usually from August to May, each club plays the others twice, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents, for a total of 34 games. Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for a loss. Teams are ranked by total points, thengoal difference, and then goals scored. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned champion and automatically promoted to Ligue 1. If points are equal, the goal difference and then goals scored determine the winner. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the championship or for relegation, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank. The second-place finisher are also promoted automatically to the first division. The fourth and fifth-place finishers play a one leg fixture at the fourth-place finisher's stadium, the winner of this fixture faces the third-place finisher at the third-place finisher's stadium, the winner of this fixture plays the 16th-placed team in Ligue 1 for the right to play in Ligue 1 the following season.[3] The three lowest placed teams are relegated to theChampionnat National and the top three teams from National are promoted in their place. While a decision was originally made that during the 2015–16 season only the best two teams would be promoted to Ligue 1, and the last two teams would be relegated to the National,[4] that decision was later overturned by an appeal to theConseil d'État[5] and the French Football Federation.[6][7]

In December 2021, the majority of LFP member clubs, including Championnat National club leaders, voted to contract Ligue 2 from 20 to 18 clubs for the 2024–25 season. This happened one year after Ligue 1 itself dropped from 20 to 18 teams for the 2023–24 season. The plan was for Ligue 2 to relegate four clubs to, and promote two from, National at the end of 2023–24.[8]
