# 2010–11 Nemzeti Bajnokság I

The 2010–11 Nemzeti Bajnokság I, also known as NB I, was the 109th season of top-tier football in Hungary. The league is officially named Monicomp Liga for sponsorship reasons. The season began on 30 July 2010 and ended on 27 May 2011. Debrecen are the defending champions having won their fifth Hungarian championship and second in a row last season.

## Overview

Videoton won their first ever national championship under headcoach György Mezey.
The season saw a title-race between two western hungarian teams, Videoton and Paks, both vying for their first ever national title. Videoton were 9 points ahead of Paks by Matchday 10, and were comfortably leading the table by the winter break. Videoton went on to win 8 of their remaining 15 games, and confirmed their status as champions on May 11th, after defeating Kaposvár 3-1. The Western Hungarian side's only home defeat was against Kispest in October.
Paks was one of only four teams who managed to defeat champions Videoton throughout the season, and won 7 of their last 10 fixtures, but Károly Kis' men's performance was still only enough for a silver-medal, 5 points below their counterparts from Fehérvár. This was Paks' highest ever finish in the league up to that point.

## Teams

Nyíregyháza and Diósgyőr finished the 2009–10 season in the last two places and thus were relegated to their respective NB II divisions. Nyíregyháza ended a three-year stint in Hungary's highest football league while Diósgyőr were relegated after six years.
Promotion to the league was achieved by the champions of the 2009–10 NB II Eastern Division, Szolnok and by the champions of the Western Division, Siófok. Siófok return to the top league after a one-year absence while Szolnok return to the league for the first time since 1948, ending a 62-year absence.
