The most famous league derbies in Bavarian football are the games between FC Bayern Munich and 1.

FC Nürnberg, with the Bayern versus TSV 1860 Munich matchups coming a close second.

FC Nürnberg versus SpVgg Fürth is also of historical significance as, especially during the 1920s, those two clubs were dominant forces in German football.

A distant fourth comes the Augsburg derby, at times played on highest level in the past, too.

The latter has grown in importance and attraction in recent years, with spectator figures in excess of 10,000 and live broadcasts in television.

Munich, being the Bavarian capital, always had many clubs at Oberliga level and above and therefore derbies in this city were plentiful.
