**Kispest Honvéd and Zalaegerszegi TE occupy the bottom two spots in the OTP Bank Liga after eight rounds of the 2026–27 season, with Honvéd on six points and ZTE also on six but with a -10 goal difference.** Honvéd returned via promotion from NB II alongside Vasas, while ZTE has recorded multiple heavy defeats and winless streaks away from home. The updated format automatically relegates the last-placed side and sends the 11th-placed team into a single-leg play-off against the NB II runner-up. Mid-table sides such as Nyíregyháza, Debrecen, and Kisvárda sit just above the drop zone on eight or nine points, leaving the relegation picture fluid early in the 33-match campaign where form, squad depth, and fixture congestion will shape outcomes.
