2018–19 Championnat National 3

The 2018–19 Championnat National 3 is the second 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.

Teams
On July 13, the FFF ratified the constitution of the competition, and published the groups as follows:


 * 123 teams that were not relegated or promoted from the 2017–18 Championnat National 3 groups.
 * 9 teams relegated from 2017–18 Championnat National 2 after any reprieves and additional administrative relegations to the Regional Leagues (US Raon-l'Étape, Fontenay, Rennes (res), Tarbes, Montceau, St-Louis Neuweg, Limoges, Beauvais and Amiens AC)
 * 36 teams promoted from Regional Division d'Honneur (as shown in the table below).

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.
