The 2023 V.League 1, known as the Night Wolf V.League 1 (Vietnamese: Giải bóng đá Vô địch Quốc gia Night Wolf 2023) for sponsorship reasons, was the 40th season of the V.League 1, the highest division of Vietnamese football and the 23rd as a professional league.[1] The season started on 3 February 2023.[2]
Hanoi FC unsuccessfully defended its 2022 title.[3] losing to Hanoi Police, its 2nd VL 1 title.
This season was the last to have an intra-year schedule (spring-to-autumn). There was a break from 20 February to 6 April for the 2023 AFC U-20 Asian Cup and from 18 April to 19 May for the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia.
