Eskişehirspor was founded on 19 June 1965 through the merger of Eskişehir Gençlik, İdmanyurdu, and Akademi teams. The club, whose colors are black and red, is known by the nicknames "Es-Es" and "Kırmızı Şimşekler". It plays its home matches at the Eskişehir Yeni Atatürk Stadyumu.
Shortly after its foundation, Eskişehirspor won the 2. Lig championship in the 1966–1967 season and was promoted to the 1. Lig (now known as the Süper Lig). In the 1968–1969 season, the club reached the final of the Türkiye Kupası, and in the 1970–1971 season, it won the Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kupası.
Eskişehirspor became one of the most notable clubs in Turkish football during the 1960s and 1970s. Its major achievement came in the 1968–1969 season when it reached the Türkiye Kupası final. In the 1970–1971 season, it won the Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kupası.
That same season, the club competed in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and gained attention by eliminating Spanish side Sevilla. These successes contributed to Eskişehirspor gaining recognition not only in Türkiye but also on the European stage.
In the 2007–2008 season, Eskişehirspor defeated Boluspor in the 1. Lig play-off final to return to the Süper Lig, where it competed for several seasons. In the 2011–2012 season, Eskişehirspor finished fourth in the Süper Lig, earning qualification for the UEFA Europa League qualifiers.
Over the years, the club has faced economic and sporting challenges. As of the 2024–2025 season, following promotion from the Bölgesel Amatör Lig to the 3. Lig, the club is once again competing in the professional leagues.
