The 2024–25 Ligue 2, commonly known as Ligue 2 BKT for sponsorship reasons, is the 86th season of Ligue 2. It began on 16 August 2024 and will conclude on 10 May 2025.
Teams[]
Changes[]
Red Star (promoted after 5 years absence) and Martigues (promoted return after 22 years absence). Since Ligue 2 reduced in size, 4 teams were relegated and only 2 promoted, so Troyes, Quevilly-Rouen, Concarneau, and Valenciennes were relegated (after 1, 3, 1, and 10 seasons in the second division respectively). Troyes has now been relegated in two consecutive seasons and Valenciennes had last been in the third division since 2004–05. From Ligue 1, Metz, Lorient and Clermont Foot have been relegated to Ligue 2 (after 1, 4 and 3 years in top tier respectively). Auxerre, Angers and Saint-Étienne were promoted to Ligue 1 after one-year absence for the first two and two-year absence for the last one.
On June 27, 2024, the Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion (DNCG) decided to administratively downgrade Ajaccio to Championnat National by questioning the financial situation of the club, although it was profitable at the end of the 2022–2023 season. They appealed the decision, and on the 11th of July 2024, they were reinstated in Ligue 2 for the 2024–25 season.
Troyes were reinstated to Ligue 2 following a request approved by the DNCG.
In a repeat of the 2022 off-season, Bordeaux was administratively relegated to Championnat National in response to their financial struggles. This occured following the failure of Fenway Sports Group's proposed takeover; although the club had initially appealed the decision, it later withdrew the appeal. With the club being required to present the DNCG with their budget prior to the start of the 2024-25 season, they could suffer a further demotion to the Championnat National 2.
