Rule Changes edit

In season 2015, a team standing on the 14th position was relegated to V-League 2. There was no play-off match as usual between team standing on 13th at V-League 1 and the second-position team at V-League 2.

Also, one club was only allowed to register 2 foreign players plus one naturalized player. Becamex Bình Dương and Hanoi T&T could register one more AFC player due to the qualification for AFC Champions League.

Teams edit

Đồng Tháp were promoted after winning the 2014 V.League 2 championship, but in November 2014 they decided to withdraw from the league altogether.^[2] They later revered their decision once sponsorship was found to fund the side for the coming season.^[3]
