Statistics of Nemzeti Bajnokság I for the 1988–89 season.
Overview
16 teams participated and Budapest Honvéd FC won the championship for a second consecutive season. The Hungarian Football Federation (MLSZ) decided to eliminate draws for this season, and matches ending without a winner carried on to penalties. The winner of the penalty-shootout were given 2 points, while the loser received 1 points for participating.
The red and blacks started off the season with a draw, and three consecutive defeats. Although they would return to winning ways, going on a 10-game undefeated streak, a 3-0 defeat to MTK on the last gameday of the autumn season caused the club to terminate Bertalan Bicskei's contract, who had led the team to a national title the season prior. His replacement was József Both.
MTK on the other hand were having one of the seasons of theirs, standing atop the table with 9 victories and a single defeat by half-time. However, consecutive losses to Zalaegerszeg, Békéscsaba and Pécs enabled Honvéd to catch-up with MTK. Going into the last game of the season, the two teams were joint on points. Honvéd and MTK played each other in a one-legged final to decide the champion, and Kispest overcame MTK 2-0, winning their 11th championship.
