Trabzonspor's football club was founded in 1967, and it opened its basketball section in 2008. After Alpella's relegation in the 2007–08 season, Trabzonspor's board purchased all of the rights related to the team from the Ülker Group, and took their place in the Turkish Second Division for the 2008–09 season.

Trabzonspor promoted to the top-tier TBL (now called BSL), after they won the championship of the Turkish Division in the 2009–10 season.

In the 2014–15 season, Trabzonspor made its European debut in the EuroChallenge. The club managed to reach the Final Four which was played in its home arena Hayri Gür Arena. In the semi-final, Trabzonspor beat Romanian side Energia by a wide margin, 63–83. In the final, the team narrowly lost to JSF Nanterre from France with a score of 63–64. Nanterre scored a buzzer-beater which costed Trabzon its first European title.

In 2015, Trabzonspor played in the EuroCup Basketball competition, Europe's second tier. Here, it was eliminated in the Round of 32.

On 2 October 2018, Trabzonspor announced its withdrawal from the BSL due to financial problems.[1] Eventually, the club ceased its basketball activities.

Trabzonspor has announced its decision to return to professional basketball in 2024. After a long hiatus, the club re-entered at the Men's Regional Basketball League level in February 2024.[2]

After winning promotion to the Turkish Basketball Second League,[3] the club received an invitation from the Turkish Basketball Federation to move up to the Türkiye Basketbol Ligi for the 2024–25 season.[4]
