The 1995–96 Nemzeti Bajnokság I, also known as NB I, was the 94th season of top-tier football in Hungary. The season started on 4 August 1995 and ended on 24 June 1996.

Overview

It was contested by 16 teams, and Ferencvárosi TC won the championship, becoming the first hungarian club of the '90's to successfully defend their national title.

Although starting off the season with a shock 2-1 defeat in Debrecen, Ferencváros went on a 4-week winning streak in August, then on a 6-week winning streak between September and November. By the winter break, BVSC were top of the table, 3 points clear of FTC. In fact, BVSC handed the green and whites their second home defeat of the season in November, when they coincidentally ended Ferencváros' 6-game winning streak.BVSC's good form carried over through to the spring, however, the team from Zugló lost 4 games in May and June, including three back-to-back defeats. The third defeat came against Ferencváros in Round 29, which made it mathematically impossible for BVSC to be champions.

Ferencváros won their 26th championship, 5 point clear off BVSC-Zugló.
