The league was contested by 16 teams and MTK Budapest emerged victorious, breaking DVSC's hegemony in the league. The two teams were in a two-way title race for much of the season, with the fate of the championship being decided on the penultimate day of the season, after MTK beat REAC 1–4 in Zugló. Debrecen finished 2nd, two points off the trophy. Despite failing to retain their championship, Debrecen still had a memorable season, only losing at home to champions MTK, and winning eight of their last nine games. MTK remained undefeated until October, as DVSC suffered losses early on to Honvéd and MTK. MTK would only lose two games on home soil under József Garami, and won six of their last seven games. The two teams scored an equal number of goals, 67.

As of 2024, this remains MTK's most recent league title.
