History

The club was established in 2010 and joined the Lewes Sunday League. In 2012 they applied for membership of the East Sussex League, gaining entry to the Premier Division for the 2012–13 season. The club were Premier Division champions at the first attempt, winning 17 of their 18 league matches, and were promoted to Division Three of the Sussex County League. Langney were Division Three champions the following season, but were unable to be promoted to Division Two as their ground did not have floodlights. However, after finishing third in Division Three in 2014–15 the club were promoted after planning permission was secured for floodlights. In 2015 the Sussex County League was renamed the Southern Combination, with Division Two becoming Division One. The 2016–17 season saw Langney win the Division One Cup, beating Southwick 3–0 in the final. In the following season the club achieved promotion to the Premier Division with five games to spare. In March 2021 the club announced they would fold due to financial issues.
