Ranking ALL 50 English Derbies WORST to BEST 

You’ve missed a massive Derby between Luton and Watford which massively gets overlooked in derby conversations

The lower league teams’ derbies are way better in terms of atmosphere, change my mind

Great story about how massive the Plymouth Exeter derby is - my dads mate had a massive accident a few years back whilst working and broke his legs and pelvis. He is a die hard argyle fan and goes week in week out. A few years back he was given argyle fan of the year award and he was chuffed, was brought in to the hospital he was at with a newspaper team and everything, he was really pleased with the award. However for the newspaper cover he was told to shake hands with Exeters fan of the year as a sign of peace. Told the newspapers to fck off and rejected the award. They gave it to him anyway, but without having to touch an Exeter fan.

The North London derby is always fierce and entertaining especially this season. That's why it's my favorite.

NLD is a proper Derby mate. There's proper hatred in it.

Got to think Wolves v WBA had to make the top 5 given how the cup fixture between them this year literally had to be temporarily abandoned for over 30 minutes due to crowd violence in the stands and on the pitch. Those black country yam yams bloody despise each other

1. Old firm 2. Millwall vs West Ham 3. Tyne wear 4. NLD 5. Pompey vs saints

Where's Luton Town vs Watford? We need to see this derby in the Premier League 1 day 👒🐝

My top 5 favorites personally are: 1. AFC Wimbledon vs MK Dons 2. Tottenham vs Arsenal/North London Derby 3. Leicester City vs Nottingham Forest 4. Merseyside Derby 5. Manchester Derby

York vs. Harrogate: Battle of the Betty's tea rooms 😂

Wolves-West Brom derby is in the goat tier imo. Could be biased but after seeing how it was back in jan it has to be. Atmosphere was great and fans were mental

Sure there are tourists at the top 6 derbies but you can still get really good atmospheres and hatred there

A Derby that never seems to get put in these Derby videos is Chesterfield vs Mansfield because we absolutely hate each other

Glad you give some recognition to the SWD. Only bubble fixture in the UK and it really is life changing the result from that game. Went to the swans win v Cardiff game in March where we won 2-0 and genuinely best day of my life my first stadium experience of a SWD.

the reading one was reading vs oxford. fantastic derby also i think the one in the stadium might be the kassam stadium (oxford's stadium) and so that might be oxford vs swindon

Reading's derby is with Oxford United (COYY) Would love to see a mention of the Thames Valley Royals proposal at some point, feel like not enough people know about what almost became the MK Dons before MK Dons

Really enjoyed the video mate, all the best, been a fance since 2018♥

1. West Brom vs Wolves 2.Pompey vs Saints 3.West Ham vs Milwall 4.Liverpool vs Everton 5.Crystal Palace vs Brighton (Honourable Mentions) Cardiff v Swansea and Shrewsbury vs Wrexham

As someone from Boro, I'll try to explain why our rivalries seem a bit weird. Geographically we're not near anyone. Because of this our culture is a mix between the north east and Yorkshire (middlesbrough is in North Yorkshire). So we've got the north east rivalries and the Yorkshire rivalries e.g. Leeds. The Derby county rivalry mainly just bottles down to both sets of fans being shall we say passionate

Blackpool vs Preston is underrated history wise, with the Matthews vs Finney rivalry & all that.

Not gonna lie the first video you made on this is actually one of my favourites

As a Bradford fan i'd say the Bradford Leeds Derby is a strong one, we're still one of the biggest clubs in the bottom half in the bottom half of the EFL League and leeds are a very passionate club, we just literally haven't played a competitive game since 2014. I think if Bradford was a more Consistent League One/Championship Calibre team it would've likely made things mean a lot more. Same issue with Rugby where Rhinos and Bulls was a huge deal but finances and relegations really separated things, so really the key issue there is just not having the consistent games As for Leeds vs Man U, I imagine that was due to the "We Lived the Dream Era" of Leeds as well as more into the First Divison days but Man U have probably never considered Leeds a real threat especially when they had the full Prem Stranglehold. But I know its a real thing as my Dad's a Leeds fan and he almost spat at me for suggesting that Leeds should make a 49ers inspired Alternate kit just because it would've had red on it (Despite the fact he's also a 49ers fan)

I've only ever been one derby in England and That was the Nene derby (Northampton vs Peterborough). The Hamburg v St Pauli Derby is insane. Was there last week. The city is pretty passionate about it.

As a Darlington supporter I am delighted that Darlington are in a video.

Bro got a haircut between me clicking the thumbnail and the video starting 😂

Lezgooooo Vizeehhh, finally getting recognition as the resident Burnley fan🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

When i was in school, there was a kid called isaac who was a preston fan, he was class at football but stopped playing because once he got the ball, he was instantly snapped

Is Shrewsbury Wrexham on there? Classic derby making a return next year in league one after about twenty years

Rivalry Rankings: 1. Tyne-Wear Derby (Sunderland-Newcastle) 2. Dockers Derby (West Ham-Millwall) 3. Black Country Derby (Wolves v West Brom 4. Merseyside Derby (Liverpool-Everton) 5. Second City Derby (Villa-Blues) HM: Gibson-Morris Derby (Boro-Derby County, this one’s sorta funny because of the lawsuits between the 2 clubs and the animosity between the fans because of it, but it’s also kinda dark because Derby County did almost die because of it.)

Last year went to mk away all the way from Pompey 6 hours there and then for a stadium of that side

As someone who lives pretty much at the half way point between Swansea and Cardiff, I’m glad to see it get the recognition it deserves. Genuine hatred between the two clubs, maybe elevated by the rivalry between the two cities

Hi Liam question is it possible for you to talk about Ipswich Town rise via their back to back promotions I could see you of some sort talking about it

Vizehs forehead lines doubled after Saturday afternoon

Fair play for giving the the south wales derby its credit but how did you mention Newport v Cardiff and not Bristol city/ Rovers v Cardiff in the Severnside derby? But i must admit its quite casual nowadays

Villa fan here. If Villa v Bluenose isn’t in top tier I will come for you Just finished the video. Very good 👏🏻, enjoy Dublin it’s class

Not mentioned the a500 derby vale vs crewe as we not faced stoke in a while

West Ham v. Millwall is such a historic derby, the blacksmiths Vs the dockers of London.

As a Hungarian Manchester United fan supporting since 2016, it breaks my heart that if I ever get to a United vs. Liverpool derby, I will be considered a "dirty tourist" 😭

West midlands have the best derbies, BCD, Villa/blues, Coventry v everyone. hell even wolves v villa have been chippy

Was that Edie Falco in the thumbnail?

Norwich v Ipswich has about stewards between the fans, Burnley v Blackburn has an entire police force as do many others

Arsenal v United is one of the goats rivalry They made the early thousands absolutely insane Can’t deny that Chelsea and spurs have a big rivalry, the battle of the bridge, those sort of games are insanity. United and Liverpool is average, the past few years have been one sided until recently

Saw the bit at 1:33 with the yellow kit in a video on derbies and immediately thought It's Oxford and Swindon. The A420 Derby.

It's nice to see you not dismiss palace vs brighton considering how many fights I've witnessed at this fixture its nice for you to acknowledge its deffo a heated... rivalry (not Derby tbh though)😊

As a crewe fan, macclesfield are barely our rivals. Port vale are our main rivals surprised that derby didbt feature here

U ever been to united liverpool? Look at the game atmosphere in our 2:1 win last season

Plenty of Swindon Town derbies gone amiss: against either Bristol teams, Reading and you can't forget Swindon vs Oxford, my dad almost got knifed outside the CG once. You could also say Southampton and/or Portsmouth as Hampshire isn't too far away btw STFC is my team if you didn't already know lol. Cheltenham is also one.

Coventry City’s main rivalry is Aston Villa. Been a long time since we played eachother, but it runs deep

As a Newcastle fan I see this as an absolute win !!!

Bournemouth vs Southampton isn't a real derby. Southampton fans will always see Portsmouth as their only rivals, and Bournemouth fans only chant about Saints ironically to rile them up - which has caused a situation where the only people seriously talking about it are Saints fans haha

Yeovil vs Weymouth somebody just about died this year

Sunderland v Newcastle was an excellent first choice with West Ham v Millwall second would be my choice.

Southampton didn’t even know Bournemouth existed until they met in league 1 in 2009

Millwall v West Ham is the biggest of all, it's utter chaos

watching this right after seeing my team win their London derby 5-0 today

Can't believe you didn't put our little tear ups in the GOATS. 12 miles and an extra finger on each hand for the muppets to the east.

Whee is swindon vs Oxford? Why is my Derby left out of this 😡

Burnley v Blackburn, armed police. Not seen anything compare to that - anyone know if others have had the same ?

Charlton only representation is AFC Wimbledon?! Charlton vs Millwall is a meet derby and Charlton vs Crystal Palace

Just been to Brentford v Fulham. I wanted to obliterate my eyes with fire. The ones in Championship were amazing I miss championship

Love how Tranmere just got axed 🤣

1. Birmingham vs Villa 2. Wolves vs WBA 3. Birmingham vs Coventry 4. Luton vs Watford 5. Wimbledon vs MK Dons

You should do Copa America Predictions.

You forgot palace v millwall that’s proper rivalry back in the day I would say that’s more then with Brighton

How have you missed the Thames valley derby (Oxford v Reading). Happened for the first time in over 15 years this season and was just a stupidly good atmosphere, definitely at least in hated.

tbh my favorite is eel classico and derp klassicer, idk how they dont make the list

Missed out on aldershot Woking, may not be a big one but it’s a heated one in the national league

Next: ranking the best 698 London derbies, from C to Z

Thanks for the praise. Its not the premier league without Burnley. Hopefully you lot come back up next year. Burnley are a proper club with proper fans. 👍🏻

Interesting with Brentford and QPR... QPR tried to buy out Griffin Park & Brentford back in the 50s or 60s (not 100% sure) bc it was bigger than Loftus Road at the time!

No Swindon, Oxford? I don’t think people realise that it’s a derby match, like we really hate each other.

It's not a huge event for most but means a little to the fans: Wycombe Wanderes Vs Oxford United. Particularly reignited a few years ago when Wycombe defeated Oxford in the league 1 playoff final to be promoted 😂

The Ghost Derby between Haaland and Saka is the biggest one in England💥💥💥

Man United and Arsenal isn’t a derby, just a rivalry.

Viz, I love your content man and you've actually put together a very rational tier list here, but... How could you forget about Luton V Watford though? I'll admit that it's not a top tier derby at the moment (The history behind the derby certainly is), but it is, and always will be hated. Despite both sets of supporters being connected by a short journey up and down the M1, they absolutely hate each other, and the derbies that took place in the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s lead to some real venomous and violent clashes, on and off the pitch.

Hull fan here. Sorta surprised the Humber Derby wasn’t mentioned between us and Grimsby (it’s on our Wikipedia page anyway). Only cause it gave you a chance to put it lower than our Leeds one cause the rivalry is so not serious the last time we played them we played them in 4 30 minute quarters. Meanwhile with Leeds that’s gonna stale cause we do hate them but if you ask Leeds fans about us they say nothing but nice things after the last time we played them and we respected their memorial for the two fans who died in Turkey, kinda like a “yeah we hate you but we’re not gonna be d*ckheads about it” and tbf if your gonna make fun of Leeds it’s better to make fun of them bottling automatics rather than serious stuff.

Rotherham-Wednesday could be a derby just like how Monza-ACM/Inter could be if Rotherham and Monza were actually competitive This is because like how Monza is a suburb of Milan, so is Rotherham. It’s just the Millers are significantly smaller than Wednesday.

Day 1 can you add more Luka Modrić things on the shop

A derby that doesn't happen anymore (because Tamworth are shit) is Burton VS Tamworth. Burton vs Derby gets good crowds, and a decent atmosphere, but if we ever play Tamworth again, it will be a bigger occasion. Edit: 1:39 That is, I think a picture of Jackson Irvine celebrating after scoring a header in a 1-0 win against Derby in the championship.

It’s disgraceful how millwall vs Chelsea ain’t on here

The South Wales Derby has petered out recently in terms of incidents and what not. But the fans truly despise each other.

How was Rochdale v Oldham missing from this? Best derby in non league

Where the hell did Charlton v Wimbledon come from?

For me the top 5 derbies would be: West Han United Vs Millwall Aston Villa Vs Birmingham City Sheffield United Vs Sheffield Wed Cardiff City Vs Swansea City Blackburn Rovers Vs Burnley Being a Swansea City fan the South Wales Derby means more to me than any game. It really is one of those rear derbies that is based on pure hatred on both sides. I'm also pretty sure it's the only bubble match in the whole of the UK. When we travel to Cardiff we usually arrive a good 2 hours before KO. Where all we can do is enter the stadium and stay on the concourse. I'm 99% sure it's the same for Cardiff fans when they travel down to Swansea.

Where is Watford Luton? It is one of the most intense, visceral derbies.

Finally someone who understands how much the south wales derby means to the fans, get completely overlooked coz it’s Welsh teams

1. Merseyside 2. North London Derby 3. Manchester Derby 4. Tyne Wear Derby 5. Millwall v. West Ham

bolton vs wigan underrated once again

I am an American Liverpool fan but I hate United and Everton I would be a tourist still but I wouldn’t just go there to go there I would thoroughly enjoy the experience.

Darlo mentioned 🔥

Qpr v Chelsea is the definitive west London derby

Swear you done this like not that long ago

We hate balton because of the proximity to be fair😂😂 only 7 miles

You forgot bradford city/leeds utd the two sets of fans detest each other and usually results in many red cards!

Where was Swindon vs. Oxford?!

I agree with the fact that the big 6 rivalries are for tourists but at the same time i think Arsenal vs Tottenham, and Liverpool vs Man U should be slightly higher, or there should be a tier lower for the other big 6 rivalries

1) East Anglian Derby (totally not biased) 2) North London Derby 3) Merseyside Derby 4) South Wales Derby 5) Black Country Derby

As a Leicester fan Forest is THE ONE when talking about rivals it goes 1.forest 2.derby bit of a drop 3.Coventry

My top 5 are 1: NLD 2: Tyne and wear 3: Docks 4: Chelsea spurs 5: Pompey Southampton

What space cadet put Donny and Wednesday
