Hungary Clubs Ranked - 1960/61 to 2024/25 (New)

There are three main clubs in Hungary as we can see to the right. The 'Hun' column represents local success and 'Tot' includes European action. The top three are from Budapest and four in the top eight. 

So how do the points work? In the Nemzeti Bajnokság I (Division 1) the top four are rewarded with 6, 3, 2 and 1. The Magyar Kupa (Cup) 4 and 2 points for the finalists only. There was a brief flirting with a League Cup, 3 and 1 for the finalists. In Europe, Champions League 8, 4 and two, the Europa League (UEFA Cup) is given 6, 3 and 1 and the Cup Winner's Cup 4 and 2. 

The Nemzeti Bajnokság I has Ferencvárosi TC the best side since 1960/61. It has won the last seven titles to prove it. 

The second best Újpest FC hasn't won the league since 1997/98. Other recent winners apart from Ferencvárosi are Győri ETO FC 2012/13, Debreceni VSC 2013/14, Fehérvár FC in 2014/15 and 2017/18, plus Budapest Honvéd FC in 2016/17.

The Magyar Kupa started in the 1965 season in this period under consideration and was also missed in 1971. The last three cups have gone to Zalaegerszegi TE in 2022/23 and Paksi FC the last two. 

If you were thinking that Hungary would be absent from Europe, you would be wrong. However, success came some time back and since 1960/61, the 1960's and 70's was the sweet spot. Ferencvárosi TC won the Europa League in 1965. 

All put together, the clubs are below. The grand total is shown for each club, divided into regions with a ranking number (Rk) which gives their place compared to all the other clubs.

I've divided the country into a city and four regions. Budapest accounts for 63.1% of the points. Central surrounds Budapest, therefore is more central northern and it collected 13.7% of the total. The North East 10.0%, West (8.5%) and South 4.7%.
