The National League is the third tier in the French football system. Commonly known as the Championnat National, this division is home to 18 clubs who fight it out for promotion to Ligue 2 each season. Whilst not as popular as most other leagues across Europe, the French National League has earned a decent following, with attendances sometimes exceeding 20 thousand spectators.
This popularity also spreads to betting circles. The French National League attracts a range of bettors who are drawn in to the excitement of this division. In a league where most teams have the ability to beat the other, with these results rarely a surprise, there can be a huge amount of value bets to be found throughout each National League season.
This is reflected within our bettingexpert community too. Many of our tipsters post their France National League betting tips each week, offering predictions on a variety of markets such as Match Result, Anytime Goalscorer and Total Goals Over/Under. What makes our France National League predictions that extra bit special is that they are all completely free!

Let’s look at how France Division 3 football works. There are 18 sides who take part in the Championnat National. Each side plays each other twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 34 games. The side that finishes top of the division at the end of the season is declared France National League Champions, and with it automatic promotion to France’s second tier, Ligue 2. The runners up are also given a spot in the second tier, with the third placed side entering a two-legged promotion/relegation playoff with the side finishing in 18th position in Ligue 2.
There are four relegation places in French National Championship football. The bottom four teams at the end of the season are automatically demoted to the fourth tier, the Championnat de France Amateur.
