    Kisvárda II won the championship but the club's first team is in Nemzeti Bajnokság I and cannot advance according to the regulations, so the second-place team (Cigánd) can fight for Nemzeti Bajnokság II membership in the promotion play-offs.[5]

Promotion play-offs

Two of the qualifying teams of the four groups of Nemzeti Bajnokság III will replace the two teams eliminated from Nemzeti Bajnokság II this year and will start the 2026–27 season in the second division (Nemzeti Bajnokság II). Promotion is decided by a playoff, in which the qualifying teams from the four groups of Nemzeti Bajnokság III (which does not always mean the champion) play a two-round duel to decide which of them advances one division higher, to 2026–27 Nemzeti Bajnokság II.[10]

In the Northeast group, Cigánd, which finished second place, had to wait for the draw for the qualifiers (because Kisvárda II, which finished in first place, cannot advance according to the announcement, as the club has an Nemzeti Bajnokság I team). In Southeast group, Monor won the championship, Gyirmót in the Northwest and Nagykanizsa in the Southwest, so these four teams competed against each other in the qualifying competition for promotion.[11][12]
