Club History In Brief:
The club were established in 1874 as Biggleswade. The club originally played at the Fairfield Road ground, which was shared with a local cricket club, and played only friendlies and cup matches until the late 1890s.

In 1902 they were founder members of the Biggleswade and District League, and were its first champions, also winning the Bedfordshire Senior Cup that year. The club went on to win the league twice more before World War I, also playing in the Bedford & District League between 1909 and 1912.

In 1920 the club joined the Northamptonshire League, which became the United Counties League in 1934, and won the Bedfordshire Premier Cup in 1922–23 and 1927–28.[2] After World War II the club adopted its current name and joined the Spartan League in 1945. They returned to the UCL in 1951, before switching to the Eastern Counties League in 1955.

During their time in the ECL they set the record for biggest away win with a 12–0 victory over Newmarket Town. In 1963 they returned to the UCL due to the increasing transport costs.[1] In 1975–76 they finished bottom of the Premier Division, and were relegated.

In 1980 they joined the Premier Division of the South Midlands League.[3] They were relegated to Division One in 1983, but were promoted back to the Premier Division in 1987. When the Spartan and South Midlands leagues merged to form the Spartan South Midlands League in 1997 the club were placed in the Premier Division North. The following season they were placed in the Senior Division, and after finishing fifth, were promoted to the Premier Division.

In 2006 the club left their Fairfield Road ground and ground-shared with Bedford United & Valerio whilst a new ground was built on Langford Road, known as the Carlsberg Stadium. In 2007–08 they won the Bedfordshire Premier Cup for a third time, beating Luton Town 3–2 in the final. The following season they won the league title, earning promotion to Division One Midlands of the Southern League.

As of the 2012–13 season the club established a reserve side under the name of "AFC Biggleswade & Academy", who began their first season playing in the Bedfordshire County Football League Premier Division.

The 2012–13 season saw The Waders finish in fourth and a place in the play-offs, where they beat Rugby Town 3–1 to secure promotion to the Evo-Stik Southern League Premier, where they have remained ever since.

Their Stadium:
The Carlsberg Stadium was opened for the start of the 2008–9 season, and has an official capacity of 3,000 people, with the grandstand currently containing seating for 300 spectators. The ground also has 6 floodlighting columns. The Carlsberg Stadium is located on the outskirts of Biggleswade on Langford Road.

The turnstiles at the ground were once used at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane ground. The ground has a sportsbar on its premises for the use of spectators at games and is also available for other functions. Also on site are a number of all weather artificial pitches which the club also offers for hire.

The first game to take place at the new stadium took place on 13 August 2008 between Biggleswade Town and Hertford Town, with Biggleswade Town winning 1–0.
