The 2000–01 Nemzeti Bajnokság I, also known as NB I, was the 99th season of top-tier football in Hungary. The league was officially named Borsodi Liga for sponsoring reasons since April 2001. The season started on 22 July 2000 and ended on 23 June 2001.

Overview

It was contested by 12 teams, and Ferencvárosi TC won the championship in a reduced 1st division. Guided by former Headcoach of the Hungarian national team, János Csank, Ferencváros lost only two games during the season, and finished two points above defending champions Dunaferr. Dunaferr started off their title-defense struggling, suffering a 4-1 loss against MTK on opening day, and losing to Ferencváros, DVSC and Kispest within a 4-week period.

Prior to the last day of the season, FTC and Dunaferr were separated by just two points. Both teams would win their redpective games, with Ferencváros winning 2-0 at Debrecen, and Dunaferr trashing Lombard-Pápa 2-5. The title went to Ferencváros, despite winning one less game than runners-up Dunaferr.

Although Debreceni VSC finished in the relegation zone, they were allowed to stay members of the top-flight, as the promoted team of BKV Előre withdrew from the 1st division.
