Esenler Erokspor was founded on 16 November 1959 in the Kasımpaşa/Sinanpaşa neighborhood of Beyoğlu, Istanbul, originally under the name Erokspor. The club's official colors are green and yellow. During its long history in the amateur leagues, the club became notable for its association with future Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who played for the team as an amateur. Other prominent political figures who represented the club in their youth include former Speaker of the Grand National Assembly Mehmet Ali Şahin and former Minister of Youth and Sports Osman Aşkın Bak.

The club began a rapid ascent through the professional tiers in the 2010s.

In 2018, the club underwent corporate restructuring under President Zafer Topaloğlu, relocated its headquarters to the Esenler district, and adopted its current name. During this period, it also established a partnership as a pilot team for İstanbul Başakşehir F.K.

Esenler Erokspor reached the TFF Second League in 2022 and achieved a historic promotion to the TFF First League (the second tier of Turkish football) as champions of the 2.
