Rule changes

After a 5-year absence, the AFC announced that the V.League 1 champions would be allowed to compete in the 2014 AFC Champions League playoff stage.

Teams

Number of participating clubs in the 2013 campaign is 12.

Vicem Hải Phòng's relegation to the 2013 Vietnamese First Division season was confirmed on 29 July 2012. However, the club returned to the V.League for the 2013 season after purchasing Khatoco Khánh Hòa's slot, who later dissolved on 8 December 2012.

TĐCS Đồng Tháp were relegated after rivals Khatoco Khánh Hòa defeated Sông Lam Nghệ An 1–0 on 19 August 2012.

Đồng Tâm Long An (as Champions) and Hà Nội T&T B (as runners-up) secured direct promotion to the V.League from the 2012 Vietnamese First Division. Đồng Tâm Long An returned to the V.League after a one-season absence. However, Hà Nội T&T B remained in the second tier of Vietnamese football due to league rules about clubs with the same owners competing in the same division.

Hà Nội was dissolved on 27 November 2012 when club officials could not secure a new sponsor after the earlier arrest of Chairman Nguyễn Đức Kiên caused all sponsorship from his assets to be blocked. Navibank Sài Gòn was sold on 22 October 2012 after the title sponsor of the club announced the a move away from sports, but the new owners announced on 5 December 2012 that the club would be dissolved before the start of the 2013 campaign., finally this club was dissolved.

On 8 December 2012, the VPF had stated that the Vietnam U-22 team would be added to the V.League to gain experience ahead of the 2013 SEA Games and to bring the participating number of clubs to 12. However, the Vietnam Football Federation announced on December 13, 2012 that 2012 Vietnamese First Division second runners-up Đồng Nai would be the twelfth club in the 2013 campaign.

Controversy

After Xuân Thành Sài Gòn was docked points for what the VFF deemed the club unsportsmanlike conduct when the club fielded a non-competitive squad for their Matchday 20 meeting with Sông Lam Nghệ An, club officials announced that the club would withdraw from the league. On 22 August 2013, the VFF approved Xuân Thành Sài Gòn's withdrawal request. Matches where the club was involved were vacated. As the result, no club among the remaining teams was relegated to the 2014 V.League 2.
