Promotion and relegation
If eligible, the top team in each group is promoted to Championnat National 2. If a team finishing top of the group is ineligible, or declines promotion, the next eligible team in that group is promoted.
This season, five teams will be relegated from each group to their respective top regional league, subject to reprieves, as a result of the restructuring of the French leagues.[24] Extra teams are relegated from a group if more than one team is relegated to that group from Championnat National 2. In the case that no teams are relegated to a group from Championnat National 2, one less team is relegated from that group to the regional league.[25]
Reserve teams whose training centres are categorised as category 2B or lower cannot be promoted to Championnat National 2 by the rules of the competition.

Subject to any appeals to be enacted, reprieves are required due to the following administrative decisions:
- Poissy and Évreux were excluded from National competitions by the DNCG, and will not take their place in National 3, having been relegated from 2022–23 Championnat National 2.[57] Poissy appealed unsuccessfully against the decision.[58]
- C'Chartres Football were administratively relegated to Régional 1, in addition to being relegated from 2022–23 Championnat National 2.[59] The decision was confirmed on appeal.[58]
- FC Sète 34 were placed into receivership, which automatically triggered an administrative relegation. Due to finishing in the 2022–23 Championnat National 2 relegation places, they will therefore be relegated at least to Régional 1.[60]
- Cherbourg were excluded from National competitions by the Ligue de Normandie, and will be relegated to Régional 3.[61][62]
- Sedan were excluded from national competition by the DNCG appeals committee, after unsuccessfully appealing their demotion from 2022–23 Championnat National.[63]
Additionally:
- Canet Roussillon FC were initially administratively relegated to Régional 1, in addition to being relegated from 2022–23 Championnat National 2, but successfully appealed the decision.[64][58]
