French Division 1 Baseball Championship

The Division Élite is the highest level of Baseball in France.

An eight-team league plays a 28-game schedule on weekends, with the season running from thru early October.

The league follows a promotion and relegation system where the last of the regular season goes down to the Division 2 while the D2 winner automatically moves up to D1.

The annual Challenge de France typically takes place every May, with the 2025 edition to be held in Metz.

The 2025 French Series will take place in October, following the conclusion of the 2025 European Baseball championships (held in Rotterdam).
