Brentford Football Club is an English professional football club based in Brentford, Hounslow, London. Between 1892 and 1920, the first team competed in the West London Alliance, West London League, London League, Southern League and Western League. Since 1920, the first team has competed in the Football League, the Premier League and other nationally and internationally organised competitions. Statistically Brentford's best league season was 1929–30 in the Third Division South, earning 2 points a game (adjusted to 3 points for a win) and winning all 21 home matches. It is a national record which still stands as of April 2026. The 1932–33 and 1934–35 Third Division South and Second Division title-winning seasons yielded 2 and 2 points per game respectively (adjusted to 3 points for a win). The 94 points accumulated during the 2013–14 second-place finish in League One is Brentford's record points total. Prior to achieving promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs in 2021, Brentford's 9 failed attempts to gain promotion through the EFL play-offs was a national record. Brentford has never won a major cup, with the club's furthest advancement being the semi-final of the EFL Cup (2020–21) and the quarter-finals of the FA Cup (1937–38, 1945–46, 1948–49, 1988–89). The club has reached three EFL Trophy finals (1985, 2001, 2011) and finished as runners-up on each occasion. In 1992–93, the club reached the semi-finals of the Anglo-Italian Cup on its only entry into the competition.
