This is a list of association football rivalries in the UK.
Football derby matches in the United Kingdom are often heated affairs, and violence is not uncommon.

[8] [9] A 2008 report showed that West Bromwich Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers was the number one rivalry in English football. [10] While Old Firm derby matches between Scottish clubs Rangers and Celtic are known to go beyond the sport with its "enormous quantity of references to wider cultural and political issues".
