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.
This list includes every derby played in Bavaria on league level above the Bayernliga, which was the highest state league from 1945, when the Oberliga Süd was established, until 2012, when the Regionalliga Bayern was established.

Leagues

Bavarian derbies listed here were and are played in the following leagues:
Below these leagues, as the highest level of play in the state of Bavaria until 2012, sat the Bayernliga. This league was formed in 1945 and went through a number of name changes during its existence. Since 2012 the Regionalliga Bayern is the highest football league in the state.

The Bavarian derby

Bayern Munich vs. Nürnberg is considered the biggest game in Bavaria, between the two most successful and popular clubs in the state. It's commonly called the Bavarian derby.

The Franconian derby

vs. SpVgg Greuther Fürth is not a true city derby by name, because in 1922 Fürth's population opted against their city council's proposal for a merger with Nuremberg. The game is the oldest top-level derby in Bavaria and the most-played football contest in Germany with over 264 games between the two sides. It is commonly called the Franconian derby.

FC Bayern Munich versus SpVgg Unterhaching

The Würzburg derby between FV Würzburg 04 and Würzburger Kickers, first played in 1908, was held as high as the 2. Bundesliga but came temporarily to a halt when the FV folded in 1981. The club reformed and the derby has since been played mostly on Landesliga Bayern-Nord level but also in the Bayernliga in recent years.
