The Division Élite is the highest level of Baseball in France. Its clubs compete for the Championnat de France de baseball.

Organization

[edit]

The French D1 begins play on March 23, 2025. An eight-team league plays a 28-game schedule on weekends, with the season running from thru early October. The top 4 teams qualify for semifinals. Semi-finals and finals are also played in best-of-five series. The league follows a promotion and relegation system where the last of the regular season goes down to the Division 2 while the D2 winner automatically moves up to D1. In 2025, Beziers will play their first season in Division 1 after winning the D2 in 2024. The annual Challenge de France typically takes place every May, with the 2025 edition to be held in Metz. Two French clubs, Rouen and Montpellier will participate in the 2025 European Cup, to be hosted in June in Rouen. The 2025 French Series will take place in October, following the conclusion of the 2025 European Baseball championships (held in Rotterdam). [1]
