Nam Dinh Club is the reigning V-League champion.
Recently, VPF announced the draw and schedule of V-League 2025/2026. Accordingly, the Organizing Committee will draw and schedule the highest level of competition in Vietnam on July 14. That is, the schedule will be announced 1 month before the opening day.
Previously, VPF and the Organizing Committee of National Professional Football Tournaments have just announced a series of important changes in the regulations of the 2025/2026 season. Accordingly, the V-League 2025/2026 is expected to start from August 15, 2025 and end on June 20, 2026. The First Division starts from September 19, and the National Cup 2025/2026 starts on September 13. Before that, on August 9, 2025, the Super Cup match between Nam Dinh and CAHN will take place.
The highlight is that next season there will be no play-offs. Instead, the 13th and 14th placed teams in the V-League will be relegated directly, making way for the top two teams in the First Division. This forces teams to prepare their squads early and invest more heavily if they want to maintain their position.
Regarding the foreign player regulations, each V-League club is allowed to register a maximum of 4 foreign players, using 3 players at the same time. Clubs participating in the Asian and Southeast Asian Cups are allowed to register up to 7 foreign players. First Division teams are allowed to use a maximum of 1 foreign player - a notable new point. In National Cup matches between the V-League and First Division, only 1 foreign player is allowed to play.
The transfer period lasts from July 15 to September 14 and the second phase from January 25 to March 17, 2026. Changing the competition format and expanding the right to use foreign players promises to bring a more intense race, while creating an advantage for financially strong teams in the coming season.
