The 1997–98 Nemzeti Bajnokság I, also known as NB I, was the 96th season of top-tier football in Hungary. The league was officially named Raab–Karcher NB1 for sponsoring reasons. The season started on 18 July 1997 and ended on 6 June 1998.

Overview

It was contested by 18 teams, and Újpesti TE won the championship, claiming their twentieth national title. The purple and whites were leading the table by matchday 10, 8 points above Ferencváros, however the club suffered defeats to Budapest-based clubs Vasas and FTC, and by Matyhday 15, Újpest's lead over FTC had been cut to a single point. In the second half of the season, Újpest remained undefeated, bagging 13 wins out of 15 games. Újpest only lost three home games throughout the season, and in a rare achievement went unbeaten away during the campaign. The 4th districtians' championship was confirmed on May 30, after they drew 1-1 at Fehérvár. Ferencváros' 4-1 loss against defending champions MTK meant that FTC's 6 point deficit to their biggest rivals could not be overcome. To this day, this remains Újpest's last national title.
