Overview

The championship was contested by 16 teams, and Győri-ETO won the title under headcoach Attila Pintér, for the fourth time in their history.

Although the team from Rába-coast lost their first game 4-1 at the home of defending champions Debreceni VSC, Győr then went on an 18-game undefeated streak, winning 13 of those encounters. Győr defeated Budapest-giants Újpest and Ferencváros in back-to-back victories, confirming their championship against the latter on the 12th of May, after a 1-0 victory.

Győr's road to glory was largely uncontested, apart from Videoton applying some pressure, however, even the Fehérvár-club finished 10 points off of Győr.

Teams

Zalaegerszegi TE and Vasas SC finished the 2011–12 season in the last two places and thus were relegated to their respective NB II divisions.

The two relegated teams were replaced with the champions of the two 2011–12 NB II groups, Eger of the East Group and MTK of the West Group. MTK made their immediate comeback to the league, while Eger returned to the competition for the first time since the 1986–87 season.
