Location of teams in 2024–25 Seconde Ligue

Twelve teams were set to take part in this season, including eight teams retained from last season's lineup. They were joined by US Saint-Malo and Toulouse, promoted from Division 3 Féminine to replace relegated sides Albi Marssac and Montauban. Additionally, Lille and Bordeaux entered the league following their relegation from Division 1.[4] In September 2024, the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG) of the French Football Federation excluded the women's section of Girondins de Bordeaux from national divisions.[5] Consequently, the team was relegated to the regional level.[6]
