Notes:
  1. ^ Following the false passports affair, victory was awarded for Rennes 2–0 (2–2 on the pitch). Final result since 28 June 2001 (confirmed by the FFF and not contested by FC Metz before administrative justice).
  2. ^ Following the false passports affair, the result of the ASSE-TFC match (1–0 on the field) was given the winner for Toulouse on the green carpet with a score of 0–0 by the Council of State on 25 June 2001. However, the LFP website does not seem up to date on this point.
  3. ^ Match played in Caen.
