MTK (promoted)
Great history (23 league and 12 cup win) and clear winner of the 2nd division. Known for a strong academy and attractive attacking football. Bought quite a few foreigners for once.
Mihály Kata (18), Szabolcs Mezei (19), Martin Palincsár (21) promising talents

Paks
A team in NB I since 2006 with the strict policy of only signing Hungarian players. Very solid midfield and a legendary striker up front in Dániel Böde.
Dániel Böde and Martin Ádám are strong strikers, István Bognár could make things happen.

Diósgyőr
A large fanbase at home and away with 2 cup wins in the 70's. In the middle of a rebuild phase with one of the best Hungarian coach in Tamás Feczkó, kind of a wild card at the moment.
Gheorghe Grozav is one of the best attackers in the league.

Kisvárda
A smaller city to the far east of Hungary, only the 3rd season in NB I ever. They signed a lot of foreigners usually fighting for remaining in the league. They have a small but loyal fanbase though.
Márk Kovácsréti (19) is the grandson of FTC legend Zoltán Ebedli

Zalaegerszeg
A strange case, they only signed players until June of 2020 and could barely keep a few so the whole squad changed. Won the league and the cup once, good bit of history, known for beating Man UTD in 2002 (CL qualifier).
Mátyás Tajti who was at Barca's academy

Újpest FC
Absolute chaos right now, great in the past: 20 times champion, 10 times cup winner. In fight with the supporters and the parent club. Predrag Rogan's first proper season after an impressive interim job.
Zoltán Stieber's huge experience & Obinna Nwobodo's creativity

Kispest Honvéd
Amazing history with 14 league wins and 8 cup wins. One to look for with a lot of Hungarian talents and a gegenpressing style manager with Tamás Bódog. Good fan support, surprise league title in 2016/17.
Davide Lanzafame & Dániel Gazdag both very skillful

Mezőkövesd-Zsóry FC
Last year's surprise team, mostly consists of Hungarians and cheap foreigners. Last season cup winner and 4th position is an all time best, but they lost most of the key players.
Tamás Cseri is an absolute baller and dribbler

Puskás Akadémia
Orbán's village (Felcsút) with less than 2000 citizens. Despite the academy in name, a lot of expensive foreigners and a few young talents. Last season was the all time best for them with a 3rd in league & Europa League qualifier.
Josip Knezevic, Jozef Urblík

One of the main contenders for the title after two 2nd place in the last two years. Three times title winner, 2 times cup winner, nice bit of history and support. Young Hungarian coach snatched from Zalaegerszeg.
