History
2022–23
In the 2022–23 season, FC Košice managed to advance to the highest Slovak league after winning the 2nd division. Throughout the season, they lagged behind FC Tatran Prešov and it looked like Košice would have to fight for promotion in the play-offs, but Prešov's poor form towards the end of the season meant that Košice became the league winners. Out of 30 matches, they collected 20 wins, 6 draws and only 4 losses. They had a four-point lead over second-placed Prešov.
2023–24
The club's first ever match in the Niké Liga was played by Košice players on 29 July 2023 against Slovan Bratislava. The match ended in a 0–0 draw.
