The 2024–25 V.League 2, known as the Gold Star V.League 2 (Vietnamese: Giải bóng đá Hạng Nhất Quốc gia Bia Sao Vàng 2024–25) for sponsorship reasons, will be the 31st season of V.League 2, Vietnam's second tier professional football league.

There will also be a break from 8 December 2024 to 5 January 2025 for the 2024 ASEAN Championship.
Like the previous season, teams won't be allowed to register any foreign players, but will be allotted two non-naturalized Vietnamese player slots.
