2019–20 Championnat National 3

The 2019–20 Championnat National 3 was the 3rd season of the fifth tier in the French football league system in its current format. The competition is due to be contested by 168 clubs split geographically across 12 groups of 14 teams. The teams include amateur clubs (although a few are semi-professional) and the reserve teams of professional clubs.

Promotion and relegation
If eligible, the top team in each group will be promoted to Championnat National 2. If a team finishing top of the group is ineligible, the next eligible team in that group will be promoted.

Generally, three teams will be relegated from each group to the top league in their region, subject to reprieves. Extra relegation places will be enforced if more than one team is relegated to a specific group from Championnat National 2, and one less may be enforced if no team is relegated to a specific group.

Champions
The title of Champion of Championnat National 3 is awarded to the team with the best record in games against the teams that finished in 2nd to 6th place in their group, with goal difference to separate ties.
