Bavaria football derbies Nation State Leagues Bundesliga (1963–) Oberliga Süd (1945–63) 2. Oberliga Süd (1950–63) Regionalliga Süd (1963–74) 2. Bundesliga Süd (1974–81) 2. Bundesliga (1981–) 3. Liga (2008–) Regionalliga Süd (1994–2012) Regionalliga Bayern (2012–)
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. Traditionally, 1. 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.
In comparison, all other league derbies in Bavaria took mostly place on state level. Occasionally however, clubs from the same city would still meet in the 2. Bundesliga, like the Würzburg or Ingolstadt derby, which each was played for a season there. With the re-establishment of the Regionalligas in 1994, Bavarian league derbies above the Oberliga level became more common, now also involving reserve sides like FC Bayern Munich II and TSV 1860 Munich II. The latter has grown in importance and attraction in recent years, with spectator figures in excess of 10,000 and live broadcasts in television."Geiles Derby mit grandioser Stimmung" sueddeutsche.de, accessed: 24 September 2014"TSV 1860 schlägt FC Bayern: Eine blaue Riesenparty" abendzeitung-muenchen.de, accessed: 24 September 2014"1860 II gegen Bayern II live im TV - Spiel verlegt" tz.de, accessed: 24 September 2014
