On October 5, 2021, the United Soccer League announced that Tower Hill Sports had been granted a USL League One expansion team in Lexington to start play in the 2023 season. Tentatively named "Lexington Pro Soccer", the team revealed its official colors, crest, and branding as Lexington Sporting Club on March 22, 2022.
USL League One (2023–2025)
The club entered League One play with its inaugural match on March 18, 2023, against fellow expansion side One Knoxville SC, where they fell 1–2; Don Smart scored the first goal in the club's history from a penalty kick in the 28th minute. The Greens won their first match on April 15, 2023, in a 2–1 victory over Tormenta FC in full time at Toyota Stadium in Georgetown.
By the end of their inaugural season, LSC finished ninth in USL League One, ahead of the reigning Supporters Shield winners Richmond Kickers, 2022 runners-up Chattanooga Red Wolves SC, and wooden-spoon winners Central Valley Fuego FC, with Senegalese forward/midfielder Ates Diouf finishing third in the Golden Boot race with 15 goals.
After two years in USL1, the club announced on August 13, 2024, that it would be leaving to join USL Championship starting in the 2025 season.
USL Championship (2025–present)
Ahead of the move to USLC, the team named former Oregon State and Austin FC coach Terry Boss as manager for the inaugural season.
Lexington had a promising start to its first campaign with a historic 2–0 win at home against conference rival Hartford Athletic, but ultimately it was disappointing season for the Greens. LSC finished ninth in the Western Conference with a 9–9–12 record, missing the playoffs following a final-day loss to Oakland Roots SC.
Following the 2025 season, it was announced Boss would not return as head coach.
On Tuesday, December 8, 2025, in a unique move by the club, women's coach Masaki Hemmi was appointed as head coach of the USL Championship team, while assistant coach Kosuke Kimura would take over for the women's squad. Both coaching changes took effect in January 2026 during the Super League winter break.
