Early years

Brønshøj BK's first decades were spent in local leagues in the Copenhagen area, and also saw mergers with other local teams, although always retaining the name Brønshøj Boldklub.

Brønshøj Boldklub had their first appearance in Danmarksturneringen (the national league system) in the season of 1944–45 after winning a qualification group, and the team has continuously since then been a part of the Danmarksturneringen. The next decade was spent yo-yoing between the two lower tiers, the team almost getting demoted out of the league system in the season of 1952–53. They were saved only by a marginally better goal difference than Hvidovre IF.

Division 1

The late 1950s saw the team make a positive turn around, first winning the 3rd tier in 1955–56, and then winning the 2nd tier in 1961, thereby entering the 1st tier (1. division) for the first time ever in 1962. Relegation followed in 1964. The team stuck in 2. division for a handful of seasons being runners up in 1969, and thus getting promoted to 1.division yet again. The stay in the highest league lasted three seasons.

This part of the century in a way marked the best days of Brønshøj BK. The team did not make the top of the 1st tier, but they were relatively competitive in the league due to the strict code of amateurism that Danish football was under at the time. The team also managed to make it to the semifinals of the Danish Cup three times, and additionally about a dozen players appeared on the national team.

The peak

The team was again yo-yoing between the two lower tiers for several seasons, before two consecutive promotions again saw them a place in the 1st tier (1.division) in 1983.

Brønshøj BK reached its peak in the season of 1984 under the guidance of manager Ebbe Skovdahl, when the team finished in 5th place in 1. division, the club's all-time highest. The club was relegated from the 1. division in 1989, and has not since then been represented in the highest tier.

The explanation for this last fact could be that in the meantime, the national league system had undergone a dramatic change, with the introduction of professional football in 1978. Brønshøj BK did (and do) sign contracts with some of their players, but they have never featured a full-time professional squad, so even today, this is meaningful as it shows an economical responsibility that has kept the club free from the bankruptcies, overstretching of budgets and mergings, that has been the fate of several other Danish teams over the years. At the same time though, the shown responsibility has made it increasingly hard to compete with the top-flight teams.

Recent years

The team has been going up and down between the two lower tiers since 1990, although having had a string of seasons in the 2nd tier from 2010–11 to 2014–15 under the auspices of manager Bo Henriksen. This after winning the 3rd tier (2. division-East) in 2009/10. Brønshøj Boldklub is currently participating in the 3rd tier after relegation in 2015. The team only narrowly escaped demotion from the national league system in 2018, with a win in the last match of the season against Greve Fodbold.
