The 2023–24 Championnat National season was the 31st since the establishment of the Championnat National and the 25th in its current format, which served as the third division of the French football league system. Two clubs were promoted to Ligue 2 and six relegated to Championnat National 2 after this season, as adjustment for the reduction in size of Ligue 2 from 20 teams to 18 next season. As a result, no promotion play-offs were held.
