Blackpool Football Club is an English association football club based in Blackpool, Lancashire, that currently competes in the EFL Championship. The club was founded in 1887 and became founder members of the Lancashire League during the 1889–90 season. The team was elected to The Football League in 1896 and remained there, with the exception of the 1898–99 season where they failed to gain re-election, until the club was promoted to the Premier League in 2010. Blackpool were relegated back to the Football League for the following season where they've remained to the present.

Through the years Blackpool have competed across the top four tiers of the English football pyramid in the First Division, Premier League, Second Division, Championship, Third Division, League One, Fourth Division and League Two. Blackpool's record against each club faced in these competitions is listed below.

The team that Blackpool has met most in league competition is Burnley, against whom they have contested 116 league matches (as of the end of the 2020–21 season). Blackpool have won 38 of their league matches against Leicester City, the most they have won against any club. Blackpool have drawn more matches with Fulham than with any other club; out of the 102 league matches between the two teams, 31 have finished without a winner. Burnley have defeated Blackpool in league competition on 54 occasions, which represents the most Blackpool have lost against any club.
