2019–20 Ligue 2
The 2019–20 Ligue 2 season was the 81st season since its establishment. The season was suspended indefinitely on 12 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On 28 April 2020, the French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe announced that there would be no sporting events, even behind closed doors, before September 2020, thus in effect ending the season. On 30 April 2020, the LFP announced that FC Lorient were declared champions of Ligue 2, and that two clubs would be promoted to Ligue 1, meaning RC Lens were promoted also. The decision on relegations was deferred to the general assembly of the FFF on 20 May 2020.
On 27 May 2020, the executive committee of the FFF rejected a proposal by the LFP to have 22 clubs in the 2020–21 competition, which would have seen US Orléans and Le Mans FC remain in the competition.
