The Kentucky Derby Derby or El Bluegrassico or the Bourbon Brawl is a rivalry between two American United Soccer League (USL) teams in Kentucky: Louisville City FC and Lexington SC.^[1]. Currently, the two teams are in different leagues within the USL^[2]. Louisville City is in the USL Championship (USLC) and Lexington is in USL League One. Due to this, matches between Louisville City and Lexington must occur in non-regular season play (unless relegation is introduced in the USL).^[3]

The name "Kentucky Derby Derby" originates from their first match. On April 5th, 2023, Louisville City and Lexington played in the 2nd Round of the U.S. Open Cup. During the match, the announcer joked that "This is the Kentucky Derby...uh Derby," playing on the name of Thoroughbred Racing's premier competition, the Kentucky Derby^[4]. As of July 2024, Louisville City and Lexington have only played once.

In August of 2024, the USL announced it would be promoting Lexington SC to the Championship Division of the USL, despite Lexington being one of the least populous cities in the Championship Division. With this, Lexington SC and Louisville City will meet during the USL's "rivalry week."^[5] Due to Louisville City losing its other rivals (Cincinnati and St. Louis) to MLS expansion, Lexington SC has become their clear replacement in that regard. The Lexington SC official 2025 schedule declares Louisville as its rival, and the two clubs have three different matches scheduled against each other in the season.

The soccer rivalry is a manifestation of the two cities, Lexington and Louisville, rivaling in ways beyond sports. As the two most populous cities in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, there is a lot of tension politically, socially and culturally^[6].
