The Crvena Zvezda–Partizan basketball rivalry, commonly referred as the Eternal derby, is an Adriatic League, Serbian League, and Belgrade-based rivalry between Crvena zvezda and Partizan. These two basketball clubs are the biggest and most popular clubs in Serbia. The two clubs both play their home games at Aleksandar Nikolić Hall or Štark Arena in Belgrade. The rivalry started immediately after the creation of the two clubs in 1945 and the two clubs have been dominant in domestic basketball since then. It is present in a number of different sports but the most intense matches are in football sections of both clubs.

The two clubs have won the two highest numbers of national titles in Serbia: Partizan has won 21, and Crvena Zvezda has won 20. Together, they account for 17 of the 48 national titles in Yugoslavia (1945–1992), 11 of 14 national titles in Serbia and Montenegro (1992–2006), and all national titles in Serbia (2006 onwards). Also, the two clubs have won the two highest numbers of championships in the Adriatic League. Together, they account for 11 of 19 championships. Crvena Zvezda is the defending ABA champion in the upcoming season.[1][2]

In European competitions, Crvena zvezda won a FIBA Saporta Cup (then known as European Cup Winner's Cup) in 1974, while Partizan was the European champion in 1992 and won 3 FIBA Korać Cups.[1][2]

Aleksandar Nikolić and Zoran Slavnić are the only individuals who have played and coached both Crvena zvezda and Partizan in their careers.
