Group winners earned automatic promotion, with the two second-placed clubs playing a two-legged promotion play-off for a third promotion spot. In addition, the two group winners contested a special title play-off to determine overall Division 2 champions.
 * From 1993–94 to 2015–16 the top three finishing clubs earned automatic promotion to Ligue 1, except
 * In 1994–95 Marseille finished first but were denied promotion due to financial problems. No other club took its place.
 * In 1996–97 only the top two clubs were promoted (Châteauroux and Toulouse) due to the reduction of Ligue 1 from 20 to 18 clubs
 * In 2001–02 top four clubs (Ajaccio, Strasbourg, Nice, Le Havre) were promoted due to the expansion of Ligue 1 to 20 clubs
