A method and an assistance system support a lane change by a motor vehicle. In the method, objects detected by a rearward-directed environment sensor system are each assigned to a direction lane of a road on which the motor vehicle is travelling. The direction lane assignment is classified as stable when no switch has occurred for at least a predefined time-period in the object-specific direction lane assignments. A classification as unstable is made as soon as such a switch occurs. As-long-as the direction lane assignment is classified as stable, a lane change by the motor vehicle from the currently travelled lane to an adjacent lane is supported taking into account only objects assigned to this adjacent lane. If a safe lane change is possible in view of the objects taken into account according to a predefined position criterion, this is signaled automatically to support the lane change.
