The 2017 V.League 1 (known as the Toyota V.League 1 for sponsorship reasons) season was the 34th season of the V.League 1, the highest division of Vietnamese football and the 17th as a professional league. The season began on 7 January 2017 and ended on 25 November 2017.[1] The season was twice interrupted due to the Vietnam Football Federation's decision to stop the league for 4 weeks due to the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup, and then again for 7 weeks for the 29th SEA Games.
The following teams have changed division since the 2016 season.
Promoted from V.League 2
Relegated to V.League 2
There is no longer a play-off match this season, so there is only one direct relegation spot.
In January 2017, Hanoi T&T were renamed Hanoi FC and QNK Quang Nam were renamed Quang Nam FC.
SHB Danang moved into Hoa Xuan Stadium from Chi Lang Stadium.

This table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve the chronological evolution, any postponed matches are not included to the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.
