On 22 February 2021, Martapura officially changed ownership after being acquired by Garibaldi Thohir, Rendra Soedjono and Kevin Hardiman who subsequently rebranded the club as Martapura Dewa United and relocated it to South Tangerang, Banten.

Following an action at the PSSI Congress on 30 May 2022, the club officially removed Martapura from its name and became known as Dewa United. The club subsequently made its debut in Liga 1 during the 2022–23 season. Its first campaign in the top division proved difficult, as Dewa United finished 17th in the standings. Nevertheless, the club retained its place in the competition and continued to strengthen its squad ahead of subsequent seasons.

Dewa United improved during the 2023–24 Liga 1 season, finishing fifth with 54 points from 34 matches. The club recorded 14 wins, 12 draws and eight defeats, representing a significant improvement on its debut campaign. Its progress continued in the following season, when Dewa United emerged as one of the leading teams in the competition under Dutch head coach Jan Olde Riekerink. The club finished as runners-up in the 2024–25 Liga 1 season, collecting 61 points from 34 matches with 17 wins, 10 draws and seven defeats. Dewa United scored 65 goals and conceded 33, recording one of the strongest attacking and defensive records in the league. The second-place finish represented the club's best league result since its establishment under the Dewa United identity and qualified it for the 2025–26 AFC Challenge League, marking its first appearance in an Asian club competition. Brazilian forward Alex Martins went on to win the league top scorer award scoring 26 goals in 25 appearances.
