The Championnat National (English: French National Championship), commonly referred to as simply National or Division 3, is the third division of the French football league system behind Ligue 1 and Ligue 2. Contested by 18 clubs, the Championnat National operates on a system of promotion and relegation with Ligue 2 and the Championnat National 2, the fourth division of French football.

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 Saturdays, with a few games played during weekday evenings. Play is regularly suspended the last weekend before Christmas for two weeks before returning in the second week of January.

The National was founded in 1993 by the French Football Federation and served as a base league for clubs on the brink of becoming professional or falling to the amateur levels. The league is annually composed of professional and semi-professional clubs or amateur clubs. The matches in the league attract on average between 2,500 and 6,000 spectators per match.

Competition format

There are 18 clubs in the Championnat National. 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, then head-to-head points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. At the end of each season, the club with the most points is crowned champion and promoted to Ligue 2. 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 first and second place finisher are also promoted to the second division, while the six lowest placed teams are relegated to the Championnat National 2 and the four winners of the four groups from Championnat National 2 are promoted in their place until 2023–24 season.

-In 2022, this Ligue 3 is looming more and more. Indeed, following the reform of the LFP to pass Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 to 18 clubs, these next two seasons, eight professional clubs will go down from Ligue 2 to National (4 relegations instead of 3). At the end of the 2023–24 season, the number of professional clubs, currently six (Red Star FC, Le Mans FC, LB Châteauroux, US Orléans, USL Dunkerque and AS Nancy Lorraine), will therefore be greater than the number of amateur clubs. Which is the essential argument for the passage of National 1 in Ligue 3 with a management that would be transferred from the Fédération Française de Football à la Ligue du Football Professionnel.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ouest-france.fr/sport/football/us-avranches/foot-projet-de-ligue-3-professionnelle-les-propos-du-president-de-la-fff-sont-irrealistes-f742b39e-fbd3-11ed-b253-afd925c64d74 |title=Foot.
