Club History

Biggleswade FC was formed in 2016. The club quickly moved through the Spartan South Midlands League, winning Division One in 2016/17 and the Premier Division in 2018/19. The 2018/19 campaign also brought the Premier Division Dudley Latham Memorial Cup and the North Beds Charity Cup, establishing the club as an ambitious presence in Bedfordshire football.

Promotion into the Southern League followed the club’s rise through the regional pyramid. Biggleswade FC finished runners-up in Southern League Division One Central in 2022/23 and reached the Bedfordshire FA Senior Cup final that season. The club won the Bedfordshire FA Senior Cup in 2023/24, then reached the Southern League Division One Central play-off final in 2025/26.

In October 2026, the club announced its intention to return to Biggleswade after five seasons groundsharing with Bedford Town. That announcement marked an important ambition for a club celebrating its tenth anniversary; the current match venue and any future move should always be checked through official club and league updates.
