The Kwara Falcons were founded in 1980.
The Kwara Falcons were promoted to the Premier League in 2013, after winning the Atlantic Conference in the Division 1. In their first season in the top-flight, the Falcons managed to avoid relegation. In 2015, the team finished third in the Atlantic Conference, behind star players such as Baba Jubril, Lanre Alimi and Tunde El-Alawa. In 2016 and 2017, the Falcons reached the semi-finals of the national championship.
In 2018, Kwara were the runners-up of the Premier League, finishing only behind Rivers Hoopers.
On November 12, 2022, the Falcons won their first-ever national championship after winning the 2022 season. As a result, they qualified directly for the 2023 season of the Basketball Africa League (BAL).
