The Bruges derby (Dutch : Brugse stadsderby, French : derby de Bruges) is a local football rivalry between two Belgian Pro League clubs Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge, who share the Jan Breydel Stadium in Bruges, Belgium.

Contents

The derby was first contested during the 1899–1900 season however the results of this season have been lost. The first known result was the following season in November 1900 and finished 0–0. The return fixture that season ended 2–2 but Cercle won the next five games before Club recorded their first victory with a 5–0 in October 1904. It would be the start of Club Brugge's dominance as they went on to win 13 of the next 19 pre-War fixtures, losing only 2. Cercle Brugge were the more successful side of the two before the Second World War winning three championships and one cup to Club Brugge solitary championship.

Since the 1970s Club Brugge have become one of the most successful sides in Belgium winning a further 12 championships and a record 10 Cups while Cercle have only added 3 more cups since, because of this many Club Brugge fans now see Anderlecht as their main rival. In the derby Club Brugge maintains a dramatically superior record often winning many consecutive games and have also recorded many high-scoring wins such as 8–1 in 1981 and their biggest ever victory against any opposition with a 10–0 win in 1991. [1]

The derby is notable as for many years it was the only city-based derby regularly played in Belgium. Cities such as Antwerp, Brussels, and Liège had two or more successful sides but many of these had gone out of existence or play outside the top flight. In recent years, other cities have seen derbies reoccur at the highest level:

The 2021–22 Belgian Pro League was the 119th season of top-flight football in Belgium. Club Brugge completed their first league Championship hat-trick since the 1970s by edging out long-time leaders Union Saint-Gilloise, who had led for 200 days until losing twice to Club in the title play-offs. Had Union achieved their unlikely success, they would have been the first newly promoted side to win the Belgian League, and the first to claim a top-20 ranked European league since FC Kaiserslautern's 1997–98 Bundesliga triumph in Germany.

The 2018–19 K.R.C. Genk season was the club's 31st season in existence and the 24th consecutive season in the top flight of Belgian football.

The 2022–23 Belgian Pro League was the 120th season of top-tier football in Belgium. Royal Antwerp were crowned league champions for the first time in 66 years after pipping Genk and Union St-Gilloise on the final day, the first occasion since 1999 that three clubs were still contending the title going in the final match. All three Championship chasers were in the virtual lead in the table at different stages across the final five minutes before Toby Alderweireld's title-clinching goal.

The 2022–23 season was the 123rd season in the existence of Cercle Brugge K.S.V. and the club's 28th consecutive season in the top flight of Belgian football. In addition to the domestic league, Cercle Brugge also participated in this season's edition of the Belgian Cup.
