Key
The records include the results of matches played in Division 2 Sydsvenska Serien (from 1920 to 1921, and then again from 1923 to 1928), Svenska Serien (for the 1922–23 season only), Division 2 Södra (from 1928 to 1931, and then again from 1934 to 1936), Superettan (for the 2000 season only) and in Allsvenskan (from 1931 to 1934, from 1936 to 1999, and then again from 2001 to the present day). These statistics do not include results from the Allsvenskan play-offs (held between 1982 and 1990), but those from Mästerskapsserien (held in 1991 and 1992) are included. The Allsvenskan play-off round was held in cup format at the end of the league season to decide the national champions, while Mästerskapsserien was an additional league stage with the same purpose. To avoid confusion, present-day names of opponents are used throughout. Each club's former names (if any) are given in this list's footnotes. The season given as the "first" denotes the season in which Malmö FF first played a league match against that team. The season given as the "last" designates the most recent season to have included a league match between Malmö FF and that side. Current divisional rivals that the club has never met in the league have a blank entry, indicating that the first league meeting of the season has not yet taken place. † Teams with this background and symbol in the "Club" column are current divisional rivals of Malmö FF as of the 2018 Allsvenskan season. ‡ Clubs with this background and symbol in the "Club" column are defunct.

Footnotes
A. The title of "Swedish Champions" has been awarded to the winner of four different competitions over the years. Between 1896 and 1925 the title was awarded to the winner of Svenska Mästerskapet, a stand-alone cup tournament. No club were given the title between 1926 and 1930 even though the first-tier league Allsvenskan was played. In 1931 the title was reinstated and awarded to the winner of Allsvenskan. Between 1982 and 1990 a play-off in cup format was held at the end of the league season to decide the champions. After the play-off format in 1991 and 1992 the title was decided by the winner of Mästerskapsserien, an additional league after the end of Allsvenskan. Since the 1993 season the title has once again been awarded to the winner of Allsvenskan. B. Record against Café Opera/Djursholm included C. Record against Krokslätts FF included D.
