Notes

  1. ^ a b c The match against Zalaegerszeg and Pécs were played at the Budai II. László Stadion in Budapest, instead of Újpest regular stadium, the Szusza Ferenc Stadion in Budapest, as the disciplinary committee of the HFF closed the venue due to the disorderly conduct in the May match against MTK.[4]
  2. ^ The match was played at the Béke téri Stadion in Budapest, instead of Honvéd regular stadium, the Bozsik József Stadion in Budapest, due to the renovation work.[9]
  3. ^ The match was played at the Nádorvárosi Stadion in Győr, instead of Győr regular stadium, the Stadion ETO in Győr, which was demolished to make way to the newly built ETO Park.[14]
