Going into the 1930's decade, MTK had the upper hand over Ferencváros, with 13 league titles under their belt, while their green and white rivals had 11.

in 1940, as a response to the tighter restrictions on Jewish people in Hungary, MTK disbanded, due to the club's heavy Jewish-affiliation.

After the Second World War ended, MTK were founded again in 1945, and saw some success, namely winning the 1951, 1953 and 1957/58 national championships, and would not leave the top 3 for 10 seasons.
