From the terraces to the sofa, British sport has given us some truly electric rivalries over the decades. Which one still makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up?
Put the items in your preferred order.

Celtic vs Rangers
More than just a football match, the Old Firm derby divides Glasgow along cultural and historical lines that run deep. When these two meet, the rest of Scottish football barely exists.

England vs Australia (The Ashes)
Nothing in cricket quite matches the slow-burn tension of an Ashes series, where every wicket feels like a small act of national pride. The banter between fans alone is worth the price of admission.

Liverpool vs Manchester United
Two of the most successful clubs in English football history, separated by just 35 miles and an enormous amount of mutual disdain. This fixture has shaped Premier League seasons more than almost any other.

England vs Scotland (Football)
First played in 1872, this fixture carries more historical baggage than most relationships you'll ever have. Scotland fans particularly relish any chance to knock their neighbours down a peg.

Oxford vs Cambridge (The Boat Race)
It's rowing on the Thames in early spring β hardly the most dramatic of sporting spectacles on paper, and yet somehow millions tune in every year. It's tradition, rivalry, and a bit of posh theatre all in one.

Hamilton vs Verstappen (F1)
The 2021 Formula 1 season produced some of the most talked-about racing moments in years, with Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen trading blows all the way to Abu Dhabi. British fans felt every corner personally.

Ryder Cup: Europe vs USA
Golfers who barely acknowledge each other on tour suddenly become passionate teammates the moment the Ryder Cup begins. For British fans, it's the one golf event that turns the sport into unmissable television.
