The 201112 Ligue 2 season was the 73rd since its establishment.[7] The previous season's champions was Evian. The league schedule was announced on 31 March 2011 and the fixtures were determined on 10 June.[8][9] The season began on 29 July and ended on 18 May 2012.[10] The winter break was in effect from 21 December to 14 January.

201112 Ligue 2 Bastia clinched the second division title on 1 May 2012 with three matches to spare after defeating Metz 30 at the Stade Armand Cesari.[11] The title is the club's second overall in the division having won the league previously in the 196768 season. Bastia will be making its return to the first division after a seven-year absence and will be entering Ligue 1 on a run of two consecutive promotions.[12] The club had earned promotion to Ligue 2 after winning the 201011 edition of the Championnat National. Reims and Troyes became the second and third club, respectively, to earn promotion to Ligue 1 alongside the champions Bastia.[13] Both clubs achieved promotion with one game to spare following league victories on 11 May 2012, which positioned each club in second and third place permanently. Reims, which is a six-time Ligue 1 champion, will be returning to the first division after over 33 years playing in the lower divisions.[14] During those 33 years, the club underwent liquidation and had all aspects of the club (its records, trophies, etc.) auctioned off. Troyes will be returning to Ligue 1 after a four-year stint in Ligue 2.[15]

Location of teams in 201112 Ligue 2 There were three promoted teams from the Championnat National, the third division of French football, replacing the three teams that were relegated from Ligue 2 following the 201011 season. A total of 20 teams competed in the league with three clubs suffering relegation to the Championnat National. All clubs that secured Ligue 2 status for the season was subject to approval by the DNCG before becoming eligible to participate.[16] 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 20 defeat to 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.[17] On 15 May, Lens were relegated from the first division to Ligue 2 after its 11 draw with Monaco. Lens returned to Ligue 2 for the first time since the 200809 season when the club finished as champions of the league.[18] On the final day of the Ligue 1 season, Monaco suffered relegation to the second division after losing 20 to Lyon. The club's appearance in Ligue 2 will be its first since 1976.[19] Bastia became the first team to achieve promotion to Ligue 2 from the Championnat National after drawing 11 with Frjus Saint-Raphal on 22 April. Coupled with fourth-place Strasbourg's draw with Luzenac on the same day, the

201112 Ligue 2 results made it mathematically impossible for the Alsatians to catch Bastia in the standings.[20][21] Amiens achieved promotion from National to Ligue 2 on 13 May following its 21 home win against Guingamp. Amiens will be making its return to the second division after spending two seasons in the Championnat National.[22] Guingamp became the final club to earn promotion to National after its 20 away win over Rouen. Similar to Bastia, Guingamp will be making its return to Ligue 2 after only one season in the third division.[23] Teams relegated to Ligue 2 Monaco Lens Arles-Avignon Teams promoted to Ligue 2 Bastia Amiens Guingamp

DNCG rulings
On 1 July 2011, following a preliminary review of each club's administrative and financial accounts in Ligue 2, the DNCG ruled that Tours would be relegated to the Championnat National.[24] Tours president, Frdric Sebag, confirmed the demotion was as a result of the club's failure to "balance its books". Sebag also confirmed that the club would be appealing the ruling.[25] On 13 July, Tours successfully appealed to the DNCG and was subsequently reinstated into Ligue 2.[26]
