The Black Country derby is the name given to any local derby between English football teams West Bromwich Albion, Walsall and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Though most commonly it refers specifically to games between West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers due to Walsall spending most of their existence in lower divisions than the other two teams.[1] All three clubs reside in Staffordshire’s historic boundaries, but they are separated 11 miles (18 km) apart in the Black Country of the present-day West Midlands county.
The most successful side in the most common of Black Country derbies is West Bromwich Albion, losing just four of the past 24 matches between the two sides.[2][3] Wolves are currently in the Premier League, West Brom in the EFL Championship following their relegation in 2021 and Walsall currently in EFL League Two following their relegation in 2019.
