Up-to-date match calendar of football derbies and rivalries,
historical results and video highlights
The Intercontinental Derby (Turkish: Kıtalararası Derbi) is any football match between rivals Fenerbahçe SK and Galatasaray SK. The fixture is widely regarded as the biggest football match in Turkey, and one of the biggest matches in international football because of the success both clubs have had in Turkish football, the intensity of the matches, and the immense rivalry between the two teams. The fixture has been in existence for more than a century and has developed into one of the greatest, most intense and often bitter derbies in the world, traditionally attracting very large attendances and nearly equal support for both teams throughout the country. The derby is known as "intercontinental" because Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray are two of the major Turkish teams from the Asian and the European parts of Istanbul respectively. ℹ️

A football derby is a highly charged match between longstanding rival teams, typically from the same city or region. Derbyist is a website that makes it easy to see which derbies are coming up in leagues around the world. The website also has historical results and links to video highlights of past derbies.
This site is a labor of love by Jerry Brito. It's a fun hobby project, but it does cost a couple hundred dollars a year to run. So, if you'd like to show your appreciation by throwing in a few bucks, it would mean a lot.
Here is a list of all the derbies and rivalry matches that we track. We are working to expand the depth of historical results and to include links to video highlights if they're available.
We have aimed to include the most famous derbies and rivalries, but obviously we can't track every derby in the world. To help us fairly limit what we track, we only include in our database derbies or rivalries that have a page in English language Wikipedia. For example, here is the Wikipedia page for the Old Firm.
We very much welcome you letting us know if we've missed a derby. To get in touch, just reply to any issue of the Derbyist newsletter. Please include a link to the English language Wikipedia page for the derby in question. (See answer to previous question.) If there is no Wikipedia page, feel free to create one. If the new page successfully becomes part of Wikipedia we will happily add the matchup to Derbyist.
