History

FK Banga was founded in 1966. During the period from 1966–1990, the club was in the Soviet Lithuanian football championship.

From 1990, they played in the Lithuanian championship. Form 1994 to 2001, they were in the top tier. After the 2001 A Lyga, they were relegated to the I Lyga.

The team earned promotion to the A Lyga, Lithuania's top football division, for the 2009 season after FBK Kaunas and Atlantas Klaipėda voluntarily withdrew their participation.[3] Banga were also members of the A Lyga from 1994 to 2000.

In the 2019 LFF I Lyga, FK Banga finished in second position and played in the relegation/promotion match with FK Palanga. Banga won the playoff, passed the licensing process, and returned to the top division after a 5 year break.

In the 2020 A Lyga, FK Banga finished in 4th position.[4] It was the best result in FK Banga history in A Lyga.
