    The regular season of the Pro D2 consisted of 30 game days (one first and one second round). It began on September 3, 2011 and lasted until May 12, 2012. The best-placed team, FC Grenoble , rose straight away. The teams in places 2 to 5 contested a playoff for the second promotion place, which Stade Montois was able to secure on May 27, 2012. Two teams had to relegate to the Amateur League Fédérale 1 , the US Colomiers and the CA Saint-Étienne . The last-placed CA Périgueux was relegated to the amateur league Fédérale 1, as did the ninth-placed CS Bourgoin-Jallieu , who did not receive a professional license for financial reasons.
