History
Established in 1892, Bromley initially played in the South London League, before becoming a founder member of the Southern League in 1894, joining Division Two. However, after finishing bottom of Division Two in 1895–96 they left to become founder members of the London League, also joining Division Two. They switched to the Kent League for the 1898–99 season, but after finishing bottom of the league, they returned to Division One of the London League. They remained in the league until World War I, In 2006–07 they finished as runners-up in the Premier Division, again qualifying for the promotion play-offs. A 1–0 win over AFC Wimbledon in the semi-finals and a victory against Billericay Town on penalties in the final saw them promoted to the Conference South. The season had also seen them reach the FA Cup first round again, eventually losing 4–1 at Gillingham. Further appearances in the first round were achieved in 2009–10 (against Colchester United), 2011–12 (Leyton Orient), 2012–13 (Fleetwood Town) and 2014–15 (Dartford), but they were beaten on each occasion. The season also saw them reach the final of the FA Trophy, where they lost 5–4 on penalties to Brackley Town after the match had ended in a 1–1 draw. In 2020–21 the club finished seventh in the National League, qualifying for the promotion play-offs, in which they lost 3–2 to Hartlepool United in the quarter-finals. In the 2022–23 season they finished seventh in the National League again. On 10 August 2024, Bromley beat Harrogate Town 2–0 to win their first EFL League Two match, with Michael Cheek scoring the club's first League goal. They then played south London rivals AFC Wimbledon at Hayes Lane twice in four days, losing their EFL Cup first round tie 2–1, then winning their first home league game 2–0. The 2025–26 season saw them win the League Two title, earning promotion to League One for the first time in the club's history. ==Ground==
Ground
The club initially played at the Queensmead Recreation Ground, before moving to Glebe Road. However, the cricket club's ground was also obtained for housing in 1904, leading to the football club (and the other sports club using the ground) moving to a site on Hayes Lane. The new ground was opened on 3 September 1904. In 1938 the club moved to the current Hayes Lane ground. The record attendance of 10,798 was set during a game against a Nigeria XI in September 1948. The ground currently has a capacity of 5,150, of which 1,606 is seated. The ground consists of four stands; the John Fiorini Stand, the North Terrace, the Glyn Beverly stand and the East Terrace, which was completed in late 2025. ==Current squad==
