2016–17 Nemzeti Bajnokság II

Nemzeti Bajnokság II is the second tier of Hungarian football. At the end of the 2004/05 season, the tournament format was changed from one division of 14 teams to two divisions: Keleti (Eastern) and Nyugati (Western), each with 16 teams. In 2013 the format was changed and there is one division again with 16 teams. The champion and the runner-up will ascend to the first division while the two lowest teams in NB I are relegated to NB II.

On 2 March 2017, the Hungarian Football Federation announced that the number of the teams in the Nemzeti Bajnokság II will not be reduced to 12.
