Following financial difficulties, AC Ajaccio was demoted administratively to National by the DNCG, which has important consequences for French football. The club of Boulogne-sur-Mer has thus found Ligue 2, while the Corsican derby Bastia-Ajaccio, originally scheduled for the first day, has been postponed. This decision of the Professional Football League (LFP) was intended to await the formalization of the situation in Ajaccio. The match between Boulogne-sur-Mer and Bastia is now scheduled late on Tuesday 16 September 2025 at 7 p.m. and will be aired on beIN SPORTS 1.

The AS Saint-Étienne, in full confidence after a promising start to the season with seven goals scored in two games, prepares to face Boulogne-sur-Mer on the third day of Ligue 2 BK. The Forezian club, currently at the top of the ranking, tackles this move with the ambition to confirm its status as a favourite against a promoted person who will be motivated at home. This meeting is particularly expected by the Stéphanois supporters, who hope for a victory to keep their lead. The third day of the championship also offers other important clashes, with matches involving Amiens, Clermont, Rodez, Troyes, Guingamp, Red Star, Pau FC and Reims.

The third day of Ligue 2 saw several exciting encounters. Guingamp won a backlash game against the Red Star (4-0), while Troyes won 1-0 against Montpellier, which saw his hopes for a recovery compromised by early eviction. The Red Star performed an offensive demonstration, with a double of J. Ikanga, and Guingamp demonstrated his ability to bounce back after a previous defeat. The match between Boulogne-sur-Mer and Saint-Étienne remains one of the highlights of the weekend, and will be broadcast live on beIN SPORTS.
