The 2013–14 Nemzeti Bajnokság I, also known as NB I, was the 112th season of top-tier football in Hungary. The league is officially named OTP Bank Liga for sponsorship reasons. The season began 26 July 2013 and concluded on 1 June 2014. Győr were the defending champions, having won their fourth Hungarian championship the previous season.

Overview The season was contested by 16 teams, and concluded with Debreceni VSC winning their seventh national title, and their second under Elemér Kondás.

DVSC suffered two defeats early on in the season, and found themselves 4 points behind Videoton FC by matchday 10, however, they managed to overtake their Western rivals, and went into the winter break with a 4 point lead over Videoton, and were undefeated between September and April.

A slip of form by Videoton during the spring allowed defending champions Győr to get close to DVSC, and by Matchday 25, the difference between Debrecen and Győ were just 3 points. Győr won nine of their last 10 games, and eventually caught-up with DVSC in points on the last gameday, after demolishing Mezőkövesd 5-0, but due to the eastern team's superior goal difference, Debrecen managed to secure the title on the last day of the season, despite succumbing to a 2-0 defeat at home to Budapest Honvéd.

Teams BFC Siófok and Egri FC finished the 2012–13 season in the last two places and thus were relegated to their respective NB II divisions.

The two relegated teams were replaced with the champions of the two 2012–13 NB II groups, Mezőkövesd SE of the East Group and Puskás Akadémia FC of the West Group. Each of the first two teams in the first division.
