Relegation play-offs[edit]
The 2018–19 season ended with a relegation play-off between the 18th-placed Ligue 1 team, Dijon, and the winner of the semi-final of the Ligue 2 play-off, Lens, on a two-legged confrontation.
Dijon won 4–2 on aggregate and therefore both clubs remained in their respective leagues.
