The Championnat National 1, commonly known as National 1 and formerly known as Championnat de France Amateur (CFA) and Championnat National 2, is a football league competition. The league serves as the fourth tier of French football league system behind Ligue 1, Ligue 2 and Ligue 3. Contested by 48 clubs, the Championnat National 1 operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the Ligue 3 and National 2, the fifth division of French football. Seasons run from August to May, with teams in the three groups playing 30 games each. Most games are played on Saturdays and Sundays, with a few games played during weekday evenings. Play is regularly suspended the last weekend before Christmas for two weeks before returning in the second week of January. The current incarnation of the league is a simple rebrand of the CFA, which was founded in 1993 as National 2 and lasted for five years before being converted to the CFA name in 1998, the National 2 name in 2017 and the National 1 name in 2026. Some clubs that participate in the league are semi-professional. The matches in the league attract on average between 800 and 1,000 spectators per match. However, this average has been dragged down by the minuscule turnouts for the pros' home reserve matches.
