All statistics correct as of 24 July 2020.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the schedule has been changed to begin on 7 March instead of 21 February as originally planned.[2] All matches in matchdays 1 and 2 will be played behind closed doors due to the same reason. Following the stabilizing situation, the league resumed in June, and also became the first league to allow fans into the stadium post-COVID-19 outbreak.[3]

Changes from last season

Team changes

The following teams have changed division since the 2019 season.

Rules changes

In 2020 season, each team can register 3+1 foreign players (3 foreign + 1 naturalized Vietnamese). The teams participated in ASEAN Club Championship and AFC Cup (TP Hồ Chí Minh, Hà Nội FC, Than Quảng Ninh) can register 3+1+1 foreign players (3 foreign + 1 naturalized Vietnamese + 1 AFC player)

On 13 May 2020, the format have been slightly changed, including:

  • The 1st leg will remain unchanged.
  • After the 1st leg, teams will be split into 2 groups:
    • Championship group (Group A) will include the top 8 teams in the 1st leg.
    • Relegation group (Group B) will include the bottom 6 teams in the 1st leg.
  • Each group will play another single round-robin format. After the end of season:
    • The champions will qualify for the 2021 AFC Champions League group stage.
    • The runners-up and the cup winners (league 3rd-placers if the cup winners already qualified for AFC Club Competitions through league performance) will qualify for the 2021 AFC Cup group stage.
    • The 14th-ranked team will be relegated to 2021 V.League 2.
