The team did not make the top of the 1st tier, but they were relatively competitive in the league due to the strict code of amateurism that Danish football was under at the time.

Brønshøj BK reached its peak in the season of 1984 under the guidance of manager Ebbe Skovdahl, when the team finished in 5th place in 1. division, the club's all-time highest.

The explanation for this last fact could be that in the meantime, the national league system had undergone a dramatic change, with the introduction of professional football in 1978.

Brønshøj BK did (and do) sign contracts with some of their players, but they have never featured a full-time professional squad, so even today, this is meaningful as it shows an economical responsibility that has kept the club free from the bankruptcies, overstretching of budgets and mergings, that has been the fate of several other Danish teams over the years.

The team only narrowly escaped demotion from the national league system in 2018, with a win in the last match of the season against Greve Fodbold.

11 players in all have represented Brønshøj BK on the Danish national team, almost all of them in the period from the late 1950s to the early 1970s.
