Standings

15 teams compete in the 2025 season, split into two groups based on geographical proximity. The best two teams of each group will promote to the V.League 2. In cases one or more teams are either ineligible or decline to participate in the V.League 2, VFF will select best team(s) among both groups to be promoted. If this happens, among Top 6 teams of Group B, the results against the bottom 2 teams of the group will not be counted due to the difference in the number of teams between both groups.^[5]
