The 2025–26 Championnat National 2 was the 28th season of the fourth tier in the French football league system in its current format. This season consisted of three groups split geographically containing a total of 48 clubs, with 16 in each group. A total of 10 clubs were promoted from the Championnat National 3 and one was relegated from the Championnat National, the tier above. Promoted teams from the Championnat National 2 gained a place in the new Ligue 3, the third tier of French football. Relegated teams were moved to the renamed Championnat National 2, the fifth tier. One team was promoted from each of the three groups, while two or three were relegated.
