Over 116 years, Corinthians’ most frequent opponents have been their São Paulo state rivals. According to Meu Timao, Palmeiras lead with 389 meetings, ahead of São Paulo on 367 and Santos on 358.

Perhaps surprisingly, Portuguesa rank fourth in the historical standings. Guarani complete the top five.

The ranking covers fixtures dating back to 1910, reflecting the long-standing weight of the Campeonato Paulista in the club’s calendar.
