, the other titles that decade were won by FTC and MTK, with the latter doing so undefeated in 1906 and 1908. In the 1910s and 1920s, the championship was dominated by Ferencváros and MTK. The green and whites won 7 leaguetitles between 1905 and 1913, while MTK won 9 consecutive national championships, a recording standing to this day. In 1929 MTK claimed their 13th league title, expanding the gap between their trophy cabinet and that of Ferencváros. With 13 championships at the time, MTK were the record champions.

(at that time not part of Budapest). Újpest became the first club to break the duopoly of Ferencváros and MTK in the league in 26 years, as they won the 1930 Hungarian 1st Division, for the first time in the club's history. Újpest would defend their title the following season, eventually closing out the decade with 5 titles. In 1932 Ferencváros won the league with a 100% win rate, winning all 20 of their games. One of the most iconic figures of the 1930s Hungarian football was Újpest's Zsengellér who managed to top goalscorer three times in a row in the 1930s. Ferencváros's Sárosi and MTK Budapest's

. MTK suffered their first ever relegation in 1994, after finishing 16th during the 1993/94 season, however, the white and blues quickly bounced back, and won their 20th national championship in 1997, and their 21st in 1999. During both seasons, MTK achieved the first and second highest ever point tallies (87 and 85, respectively) in the history of the Hungarian League. Újpest started off the 1990's decade by winning the league under headcoach Péter Várhidi, after a dramatic titlerace against MTK, which saw both clubs finish on equal points on the last day of the season. The club from the North of Pest saw little success in the ensuing 4 years, finishing as low as 14th in 1993, narrowly avoiding relegation.
