He completed primary and secondary school (1940) in Nagybecskerek (Zrenjanin), then enrolled in art history in Zagreb. From the autumn of 1941, as an Eötvös College student in Budapest, he studied Hungarian language and literature, as well as South Slavic language and literature for three semesters. Following the German occupation of Banat, he made several unsuccessful attempts to return. After returning to Pest, Hungary was occupied. In the spring of 1944, he finally returned home. He lived in Banat until the end of the war. Here, from October 1944, he worked in the agitation department of the People's Front. From the summer of 1945 to the autumn of 1946, he was a Member of Parliament and district secretary for North Banat. Between 1946 and 1959, he was a professor at the Teacher Training College in Novi Sad. In 1959, he became a research fellow at the newly opened Department of Hungarian Language and Literature, teaching old Hungarian literature. He graduated from the Department of Hungarian Language and Literature in 1962. He suffered from a severe lung disease and died in Slovenia in 1963.
In 1996, a commemorative plaque was placed in his honor at the Petőfi Cultural Association in Nagybecskerek (Zrenjanin). Since 1990, literary events known as the B. Szabó György Commemorative Days have been held annually.
