The club was established in 2013 when Lee Okugbeni, manager of the Kentish Town under-18 team, wanted the squad to progress to adult football; they were subsequently admitted to Division Two of the Spartan South Midlands League for the 2013–14 season.[1][2] The club finished second-from-bottom of the division in their first season, but the 2014–15 season saw them finish fourth.[2] However, Hale Leys United and Kent Athletic, who had finished first and second respectively, were unable to take promotion due to inadequate grounds, allowing Brimsdown to take promotion to Division One.[1] The 2015–16 season saw the club enter the FA Vase for the first time.[2]. In February 2018, Ahmet Toygun and Yilmaz Celik took over the ownership and put in place a new structure.

They finished bottom of Division One South in 2021–22 and were relegated to the Senior Division of the Essex Alliance. However, they were Essex Alliance champions the following season, earning promotion back to Division One South.
