BK Frem were founded as Fremskridtsklubbens Cricketklub on 17 July 1886 by a group of seditious young men from the then government hostile Venstre Reform Party, as a cloak for political activities.

In 1905, the club moved to its own field at Enghavevej, Vesterbro, obtaining its distinct working class profile.

In 1912, Frem joined the representative team Stævnet which arranged lucrative exhibition matches and played a decisive role in Danish football politics.

Since 1983 Frem had been battling economically, and in 1993 saw themselves demoted to the Danmarksserien following a bankruptcy, which was due to a debt of DKK 8,500,000 and allegations of fraud.

[8] Hans Hermansen, then managing director of BK Frem, has indicated that according to the plan, the construction of a new stadium should commence no later than 2010.

[12][13] After the clubs bankruptcy in summer 2010, Frem got a helping hand from Danish brewery giant Carlsberg.

Being from the same city they signed on as main sponsor, because they saw it as a chance to help the fellow Valby-based brand back on its feet.

[16] In June 2015 Frem announced they would switch back from Diadora to their old shirt partner, Hummel, starting from the 2015/2016 season.
