1990–91 Nemzeti Bajnokság I

Overview

It was contested by 16 teams, and Budapest Honvéd FC won the championship. Honvéd's title came as a surprise as they were forced to play the relegation tiebreaker, beating Kazincbarcika 3–2 on aggregate in the previous season. The arrival of newly appointed coach Mezey György, who had been head coach of the Hungarian national team, proved to be a good effect on the club's performance. The method of awarding the winner of a match 3 points was abolished; this time 2 points were given. Szeged and Bp. Volán won promotion while Debrecen maintained their first division status winning 2–1 on aggregate over Dunaújváros in the relegation tiebreaker.

Honvéd took the first position for the first time in the season after round 2, but were placed 5th the following matchday, as Tatabánya were first place. Ferencváros and Vác both spent a week atop the table, before Honvéd regained their first place after Week 7. The red and blacks would stay top of the league all the way until the end of the season, as the club went on a 14-game unbeaten streak. Honvéd confirmed their championship after Gameday 28, where despite losing 2–1 to 3rd placed Pécs, Ferencváros, who had been applying pressure on their southern rivals throughout the season, also dropped points against Volán FC.
