The club promoted in 2016 to Liga Femenina 2, and two years later, it qualified for the promotion playoffs to the top tier as champions of the Group B and achieved promotion to Liga Femenina, the top tier of Spanish women's basketball, in front of 6,200 spectators.^[4] In their debut season, Valencia Basket reached the semifinals.
