They were eventually followed by Mont-de-Marsan, who beat Racing Métro in extra time in the final providing the second promotion place.

Colomiers and Bourg-en-Bresse earned promotion from Fédérale 1 for the 2008–09 season, while Albi and Auch were relegated from the 2007–08 Top 14.

Racing Métro, which had barely missed out on promotion the previous season, easily won the title, clinching with three rounds to spare.

However, Tarbes were able to come up with sufficient financial guarantees to satisfy DNACG, and its relegation to Fédérale 1 was officially rescinded on June 26.
