It was contested by 16 teams, and Budapest Honvéd FC won the championship under coach Imre Komora, for the third consecutive time, and for the 9th time in the club's history.
Kispest went unbeaten at home for the entire season, and would only suffer two losses throughout the campaign.
Honvéd were leading the table by the winter-break, 4 points above Pécsi-MFC.
Pécs kept applying pressure on Honvéd throughout the spring, but a 2-4 loss to the defending champions on the penultimate day of the season sealed the Baranya-county club's fate, as Honvéd extended their lead to seven points, with one game to go.
Regardless, József Garami took Pécs to their highest ever NB1 finish.
