Dijon returned to the second division after only one season in Ligue 1, while Caen fell to the second tier after two years in the first division. Teams There were three promoted teams from Ligue 2, replacing the three teams that were relegated from Ligue 1 following the 2010–11 season. A total of 20 teams competed in the league with three clubs suffering relegation to the second division, Ligue 2. All clubs that secured Ligue 1 status for the season were subject to approval by the DNCG before becoming eligible to participate.The DNCG is responsible for overseeing the legal and financial accounts of professional football clubs in France. If clubs operating in French football don't meet the DNCG's expectations, they can face sanctions, such as relegation. Arles-Avignon was the first club to suffer relegation from the first division to Ligue 2. The club's impending drop occurred on 17 April 2011 following the team's 2–0 defeat to AS Monaco. The negative result made it mathematically impossible for Arles to seize the 17th position in the table, which would have allowed the club to remain in Ligue 1. Arles-Avignon made its return to Ligue 2 after only a year's spell in the top division of French football.Arles-Avignon relégué en Ligue 2 http://fr.sports.yahoo.com/17042011/1/arles-avignon-relegue-en-ligue-2.html Yahoo! 17 April 2011 23 April 2011 fr September 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes On 15 May, Lens were relegated from the first division to Ligue 2 after its 1–1 draw with Monaco.
