The 2016–17 Championnat de France Amateur 2 will be the 19th season of the fifth tier in the French football league system in its current format. The competition will be contested by 112 clubs split geographically across 8 groups of 14 teams each. The teams include amateur clubs (although a few are semi-professional) and the reserve teams of professional clubs.
On July 15, the FFF ratified the constitution of the competition, and published the groups as follows:
On 9 August, the FFF confirmed the decision by Évian TG not to participate in the CFA 2 with their reserve team following the club's recent receivership. Because the decision comes after 15 July, there will be no replacement and Group F will instead operate with 13 clubs.
The reserve teams in CFA2 cannot obtain promotion if their centre de formation (equivalent to Academy) is deemed of insufficient quality. The following teams are not eligible for promotion from CFA2 this season:
Group A
Group B
Group C
Group D
Group E
Group F
Group G
Group H
SU Divaise finished 1st in DH Basse-Normandie, but were denied promotion due to not having a youth team. However this ruling was successfully appealed, however the decision was not binding on the FFF.
On 20 September the Tribunal Administratif de Paris (Administrative Court of Paris) upheld the decision of the Comité National Olympique et Sportif Français that SU Divaise should be promoted to CFA 2. This ruling gave the FFF 10 days to place SU Divaise into a CFA 2 group.
On 21 September the FFF published a revision to CFA 2 Group F, including SU Divaise in the group.
Outcomes below are provisional and subject to ratification by the FFF.
Saint-Brieuc, Saint-Pryvé, Beauvais, Ste-Geneviève, Saint-Priest, Grasse, and Stade Bordelais are promoted to National 2 as champions of their respective groups.
