Having spent two years as a UCI Continental team, the team registered their interest to become a UCI ProTeam for the 2020 season, and were granted a ProTeam licence in December 2019. In February 2020, it was announced that Spanish telecommunications company Euskaltel were to become the team's title sponsor for four years, from that year's Tour of the Basque Country – later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. The company had sponsored the previous Euskaltel–Euskadi team between 1998 and 2013, before the team disbanded.
