The scores of the teams will remain the same when entering group stage 2. * Stage 2: ** Group A (Competition for the Championship): Consists of 5 teams, ranked from 1 to 5. Teams compete in another single round robin. Each team will play 2 home matches and 2 away matches. The winning team will compete in 2023–24 V.League 1. **Group B (Relegation Race): Consists of 6 teams, with ranking positions from 6 to 11. Teams compete in another single round robin. The teams ranked 6-8 in the first stage play 3 home matches, the remaining 3 teams play 2 home matches. The 11th-placed team will be relegated to the 2023–24 Vietnamese League Two. However, with

dropping out of the tournament, on March 3, VPF discussed and came to a decision to return to the double round-robin format with 18 rounds when the tournament had 10 teams left. The winning team will compete in 2023–24 V.League 1.
