ScoresLive brings you Ligue 2 live scores for every match in France's second tier, updated in real time as goals, cards and substitutions happen across all 18 clubs. The 2026-27 season runs from August 2026 through to May 2027, and it kicked off with two of French football's biggest names on the way back down after difficult campaigns in Ligue 1: FC Nantes, arriving with thirteen years of top-flight history and genuine promotion ambition, and FC Metz, making an immediate return trip after just a single season in the elite. Across 34 rounds of fixtures, Ligue 2 stays one of Europe's most unpredictable second divisions, and ScoresLive tracks every match, table update and prediction as the promotion and relegation battles unfold.
Only the top two clubs go up automatically, which keeps Ligue 2 famously tight from top to bottom. Reigning champions ESTAC Troyes and a Le Mans side celebrating their first Ligue 1 return in seventeen years have already moved up, while third-placed AS Saint-Etienne missed out again after losing the promotion barrage to OGC Nice. Saint-Etienne's spending power and recent top-flight experience still make Les Verts one of the clubs to watch this term, alongside Nantes, Metz, Stade de Reims and a rebuilding Montpellier HSC, with the football section's Ligue 1 neighbours casting a long shadow over the promotion race.
Dijon FCO and FC Sochaux-Montbeliard complete the incoming sides, both returning after three seasons in the third tier, which was rebranded Ligue 3 for 2026-27. Below is the full 18-club Ligue 2 line-up for the season.
