Stevenage F.C.

Stevenage Football Club (known as Stevenage Borough Football Club until 2010) is a professional association football club based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England. The club competes in EFL League One, the third tier of the English football league system, and plays its home matches at Broadhall Way.

Founded in 1976 following the demise of Stevenage Athletic, the club joined the United Counties League in 1980 and won the United Counties League Division One title and the United Counties League Cup in its first season at senior level. Following three promotions in four seasons in the early 1990s, Stevenage reached the Conference National in 1994. They won the division in the 1995–96 season but were denied promotion to the Football League because Broadhall Way did not meet the required ground standards. Stevenage remained in the top division of non-League football for the following 14 seasons, before winning the Conference Premier in the 2009–10 season to earn promotion to the Football League.

The club dropped 'Borough' from its name in June 2010, ahead of its first season in the Football League, in which Stevenage won promotion to League One via the play-offs. After three seasons in League One, the club was relegated to League Two in 2014. Stevenage returned to League One following promotion during the 2022–23 season and recorded their joint-highest league finish in 2025–26, when they placed sixth, matching their position in the 2011–12 season.

Stevenage has also won the FA Trophy twice, defeating Kidderminster Harriers in the 2007 final to become the first club to win a competitive final at the new Wembley Stadium, before winning the competition again in 2009. The club has also recorded notable FA Cup results against higher-level opposition.
