• Match 1: Group A winner vs Group B runner-up
• Match 2: Group B winner vs Group A runner-up
• Match 3: Match 1 loser vs Match 2 loser

The winners of three matches promoted to 2016 Vietnamese National Football Second League. But in season 2016, Trẻ Đồng Nai withdrew, so the loser of match 3 also promoted.^[2]
