Cardiff City F.C. league record by opponent

Cardiff City Football Club is a professional football club based in Cardiff, Wales. Founded in 1899, the club competed in local amateur leagues before turning professional in 1910, moving into the English football league system by joining the Southern Football League. Ten years later, they were elected into the Second Division of the Football League,[1] winning promotion to the First Division in their first season.[2] They achieved their highest ever position during the 1923–24 season, finishing in second place of the First Division but lost the league title on goal average to Huddersfield Town.[3] They were relegated from the First Division in 1929. Since then, they have spent a further eight seasons in the top tier; the most recent return was a one-year spell in the 2013–14 season.[2]

Matches from uncompleted competitions – the abandoned 1939–40 Football League season  – are excluded, as are test matches, Football League play-offs, and matches in the various wartime competitions.
  • The name used for each opponent is the name they had when Cardiff City most recently played a league match against them.

For example, results against Leyton Orient include matches played against Orient (1966–1987) and Clapton Orient (before 1945).
  • The columns headed "First" and "Last" contain the first and most recent seasons in which Cardiff City played league matches against each opponent.
  • P = matches played; W = matches won; D = matches drawn; L = matches lost; Win% = percentage of total matches won
  •    Clubs with this background and symbol in the "Opponent" column are Cardiff City's divisional rivals in the current season, the 2020–21 EFL Championship.
