All statistics correct as of complete.

The 2020 V.League 1 season (or LS V.League 1 2020 for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 37th season of the V.League 1, the highest division of Vietnamese football and the 20th as a professional league.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the schedule had been changed to begin on 7 March instead of 21 February as originally planned.[2] All matches in matchdays 1 and 2 were 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] On 26 July 2020, the league was suspended again due to another surge in COVID-19 cases.[4]
