Locations of the 2008–09 Nemzeti Bajnokság I teams

The club of Budapest Óbudai Goldberger SE was the only relegated team last season and was replaced by PTE-PEAC from Pécs.

This year's first division championship was geographically pretty well divided : the league gathered two teams from the capital city Budapest (Vasas and FTC), two other from the Northern Great Plain (DVSC and Nyíradony) and Central Transdanubia (Dunaferr and Alcoa), three from the Southern Great Plain (ASA-Consolis-HNKC, Kisunhalas and PTE-PEAC), and finally one from Central Hungary (Vác) and Western Transdanubia (Győr).

After a regular season of 22 matchdays, teams are divided into three groups of four depending on their position. First four teams compete for the title, next four play the 5-8 Classification Round and finally, last four placed clubs play to escape the relegation. In those playoffs, the clubs play in a round-robin system in which points were given according to their position in the regular season.

As Hungarian champions, Győri ETO KC entered the Group Phase of the 2008–09 EHF Women's Champions League. Anita Görbicz's team made a brilliant performance and qualified for the final against Danish Viborg HK but lose by one goal at total score. The runners-up of last season, Dunaferr NK played a qualification tournament but finished second of their group and didn't make it to the next round. Therefore, they were reversed in the EHF Cup. DVSC-Aquaticum entered the third round of the 2008–09 EHF Women's Cup Winners' Cup, won against Italian Pallamano Bancole but was eliminated by Romanian Oțelul Galați. In the EHF Cup, three teams represented Hungary : Dunaferr NK (from the CL), Budapest Bank-FTC-RightPhone and Fehérép Alcoa FKC. First was eliminated in Round 3, the others in the eight-finals. Consequently, only Győri Audi ETO KC played a European Cup's final this season.
