Competing in League1 Alberta since its inaugural exhibition season in 2023 using its youth affiliate's moniker Scottish United, the club has also competed continuously in the Alberta Major Soccer League (AMSL) since 1992 – simultaneously fielding reserve squads and adult teams across several leagues within the Edmonton and District Soccer Association (EDSA). The teams train at the Edmonton Soccer Dome and play home matches at Hamish Black Field, both of which are located at Grant MacEwan Park in the Ellerslie area of southeast Edmonton.

In 2016, Edmonton Scottish completed the amateur domestic treble, capping off an undefeated season by winning the Challenge Trophy to become Canada Soccer national champions for the first time — having previously finished as runners-up in 1992, 2012, and 2015. They are eight-time AMSL league winners and thirteen-time provincial champions, capturing the Bennett Shield in 1913 and the Alberta Soccer Challenge Cup a total of twelve times since 1972. The club was recognized by the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame in 2019 as an Organisation of Distinction, and in 2021 it was announced that they have formed a semi-professional team and would begin seeking entry to an interprovincial league – eventually joining the League1 Canada pyramid in 2023.

The club is affiliated with nine-time Jubilee Trophy champions, Edmonton Angels.
