Notes:

^ Jump up to: ^a ^b Since the winners of the 2016–17 Coupe de France and the 2016–17 Coupe de la Ligue, Paris Saint-Germain, qualified for European competition based on league position, the spot awarded to the Coupe de France winners (Europa League group stage) was passed to the fourth-placed team and the spot awarded to the Coupe de la Ligue winners (Europa League third qualifying round) was passed to the sixth-placed team. The fifth-placed team received the spot in Europa League third qualifying round originally designated to the fourth-placed team.
^ After being relegated to Ligue 2, Bastia was initially further relegated to National due to financial difficulties.^[24] On 10 August 2017, the FFF announced that Bastia was denied entry to National. The club therefore took the place of its reserve team in Championnat National 3.^[25]

The fifth-placed team received the spot in Europa League third qualifying round originally designated to the fourth-placed team.

[table_note_res_REN0.77539290058212-27] After being relegated to Ligue 2, Bastia was initially further relegated to National due to financial difficulties.^[24] On 10 August 2017, the FFF announced that Bastia was denied entry to National. The club therefore took the place of its reserve team in Championnat National 3.^[25]

[fn1-30] Match awarded 3–0 to Lyon due to the match being abandoned at half-time, with no score, when Bastia fans stormed the pitch and attacked the Lyon players.^[27]
