Falkenbergs FF was founded in 1928 in response to the towns general sports club Falkenbergs Gymnastiksällskap shutting down their football team. A group of small Falkenberg-based football teams met and decided to join forces and create the new club. Their first ever game was played on 25 March 1928 in a friendly win against Varbergs BoIS who would go on to become their long time local rivals.
During the first thirty seasons of Falkenbergs FF the club spent most of its time in the third tier of Swedish football. The lowpoint came in the early seventies when Falkenberg had dropped to the seventh tier. However, they would then start ascending in the Swedish league system, earning two consecutive promotions in 1986 to Division 2 and in 1987 to Division 1, which at the time was the second tier of Swedish football. The following 1988 season Falkenberg played in the second division for the first time ever.
In 1998 Falkenbergs FF led Division 1 Södra after twelve games and had their sights set on qualifying for Allsvenskan. But the club's success would not last all 26 rounds and they finished seventh in the league table. The club would have to wait 15 more years until the 2013 Superettan season where they won the league and for the first time ever qualified for Swedens top flight. They would go on to play the next three years in Allsvenskan before being relegated and then a couple of years later spend two more seasons in the nations highest division.
After their second relegation the club continued to be relegated to the third tier instantly the next season but were able to return to Superettan once again after three years.
