The 2004–05 Nemzeti Bajnokság I, also known as NB I, was the 103rd season of top-tier football in Hungary. The league was officially named Arany Ászok Liga for sponsoring reasons. The season started on 7 August 2004 and ended on 26 May 2005.
Debreceni VSC became the first eastern hungarian club to win the top-flight, after finishing 6 points above runners-up Ferencváros and third-place MTK.
FTC started off the season better, winning 9 of their first 11 fixtures, and were leading the table four points ahead of Debrecen at one stage. The tide turned on Matchday 12, after Debreceni VSC achieved a 2-0 victory over Ferencváros, with a double from Igor Bogdanovic. FTC suffered subsequent losses to Győr, Fehérvár, MTK and Nyíregyháza, and by Matchday 20 DVSC were first place.
The Hajdú county-club's title was confirmed with two games to go, in the 28th round. While Debrecen hammered rival Békéscsaba 5-1, Ferencváros suffered a 2-0 loss at Pécs, and failed to retain their title from the previous season. Attila Supka became the first hungarian manager to guide a provincial club to a national title since Oszkár Szigeti in 1983
