As can be seen, among the founding clubs, the Posta- és Távirda-Tisztviselők SE and the Budai Ganzgyár Football-csapata did not enter, but we find the Újpesti Football Club among the participants.

The champion and 2nd place finisher of the II. class played a qualifying match with the last and second to last place finishers of the I. class.

Notes:

Promotion playoff

The BSC therefore remained in the I. class, but the "33" FC was also promoted to the best, as the Műegyetemi FC did not enter for the next championship.

Following the example of its sister club, the Műegyetemi FC, the BEAC also left the association. The points for the unplayed matches were awarded to the opponents.
