CS Sedan Ardennes, ASM Belfort, AS Béziers and Les Herbiers VF were promoted.
There were twelve teams promoted from Championnat de France amateur 2, while two teams were relegated from the 2013–14 Championnat de France amateur.
The original plan was to have US Colomiers, RC Strasbourg, Vannes OC and ES Uzès Pont du Gard also relegated from the Championnat National, but due to DNCG and/or FFF rulings, the following clubs were relegated to lower divisions: Luzenac AP (promotion ineligible), USJA Carquefou (voluntary), Vannes (bankruptcy) and Uzès Pont du Gard (bankruptcy).
[1] Vesoul HSF was also declared bankrupt,[2] while AS Cherbourg voluntarily restarted in their regional leagues.
Because of these vacancies, JA Drancy, FC Montceau Bourgogne, Jura Sud Foot, Tarbes PF, Stade Montois and Stade Plabennécois remained in the CFA.
