The season started on 10 March 2018[2] and ran until 8 October 2018.[2] It was expected to be known as the **Toyota V.League 1**, however, in December 2017 [Toyota](/source/Toyota) ended their sponsorship deal with the [Vietnam Football Federation](/source/Vietnam_Football_Federation) one year early.[3]

### Rule changes
