Les Girondins were due to play in Ligue 2 next season having been relegated from the top flight in 2021/22 but will now drop another division about breaking French football financial regulations.
FC Villefranche Beaujolais have been promoted to Ligue 2 to take Bordeaux’s place as a result of the ruling.
The club have seven days to appeal the decision made by the DNCG.
