Current: 2026–27 Női NB I

The Női NB I (Hungarian: Női Nemzeti Bajnokság, for "Women's National Championship"), also known as the Simple Női Liga for sponsorship reasons, the top level of league competition for women's association football in Hungary. Organized by the Hungarian Football Federation, it features twelve teams. The champion qualifies for a spot in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

Format

From 2007–08 to 2009–10 eight teams played two double round-robins (so 28 matches) to decide the champion.

For the 2010–11 season the league was extended to ten teams and a playoff system was adopted. After the regular season, which was reduced to a double round-robin tournament, the top 5 teams qualified for the championship playoff. At the start of the playoff the results against the teams failing to reach the championship playoff are subtracted. The five teams then play another double round-robin (for 8 additional matches) to crown the champion. The relegation playoff round works in the same way with the bottom five placed teams after the regular season.

Since the 2014–15 season, the top two teams after the championship play-off play a championship final.

Infrastructure and Stadiums

Teams in the Hungarian top flight operate under modern, professional conditions. The majority of the clubs function as the women's departments of established men's NB I (first division) or NB II (second division) sports organizations, which guarantees high-level infrastructural support.

International Integration and Foreign Talent

The Simple Női Liga attracts international players from North America, South America, and Europe, raising the league's tactical and physical standards. Furthermore, the reigning champion regularly competes in the UEFA Women's Champions League, providing a reference point to measure the league's development against top-tier European clubs.
