Burnley Football Club is an established Premier League Club with a rich history.

Proud founder members of the Football League, we began life as a rugby club. However, 'Burnley Rovers' soon switched codes and became Burnley Football Club in 1882. We moved to our Turf Moor home shortly afterwards, at the invitation of the town's cricket club, which is still uniquely situated next to the stadium.

FA Cup campaigns gave way to organised football in 1888 with the foundation of the Football League - and since then Burnley have claimed every major honour, with the exception of the League Cup.

We are a special football club located in the heart of the town and its community; we believe that Burnley is a special place – a home to extraordinary people like you.
