History

The club was founded in 1899 as Sportovní kroužek České Budějovice and in 1905 as Sportovní klub České Budějovice.^[1] Since 1993, the club has played in the top-level Czech First League almost exclusively. Despite suffering relegation three times, most recently in 2005, the club has won promotion back to the top-flight immediately on each occasion.

In 2002 České Budějovice celebrated promotion to the Czech First League, announcing a project to reconstruct their stadium in line with league requirements.^[2] The club celebrated its centenary in 2005 but were relegated from the top flight, vowing to return to the Czech First League a year later.^[3] In the 2005–06 Czech 2. Liga, the club started poorly, lying in 13th place in late September.^[4] A change in fortunes came about with the club signing former player and all-time leader in national team appearances Karel Poborský on loan from Sparta Prague.^[4] The club improved significantly and went on to win promotion back to the Czech First League at the end of the season.^[5]

Since 2011, České Budějovice have had an agreement where SK Strakonice 1908 operates as its farm team.^[6]
