History
In their first year of competition they would finish second in the regular season, and would reach the league finals, being swept in 4 games by DVTK Jegesmedvék. In their second season MAC would once again finish the regular season in 2nd place. They won their first playoff series 4-1 over Fehérvári Titanok, as well as their second over Debreceni HK in the semi-final 4-1.[1] In the final they would be swept four games to one by the defending champions DVTK Jegesmedvék to once again finish in second place overall.
MAC Budapest won both the Erste Liga championship and the Hungarian championship in 2018.
The newly renamed MAC Újbuda joined the Slovak Extraliga during the 2018–19 season and 2019–20 season.
The team returned to the Erste Liga ahead of the 2020–21 season under the name MAC HKB Újbuda.
