The first speedway in Rzeszów was held at the Resovia stadium in 1948. The club made their league debut during the 1949 Polish speedway season under the name RTKM-Gwardia Rzeszów.
As Stal Rzeszów the team returned to league action in 1955[3] and in 1956, two clubs from Rzeszów competed in the league, with Resovia Rzeszów competing in addition to Stal.[4]
Towards the end of the 1950s the team won the second division twice in 1957 and 1959. The 1959 success was a precursor of things to come.
The 1970s and 1980s proved to be a low point because the success of the previous decade could not be reproduced. The team failed to win anything until 1981 and that was a second division title. Another barren spell ensued, until 1991 and another second division title success. The team had their best season for over 30 years, when they won a bronze medal during the 1998 Polish speedway season.
