The idea to merge the three football teams in order to have a championship team came in 2006, but a Championnat de France amateur (CFA) team was not created until 2007. Béziers won promotion to professional football in 2017–18 for the first time, and played in Ligue 2 for one season. As of the 2023–24 season it plays in Régional 1, after several recent relegations on and off the field.
