BC Tallinna Kalev

The team was founded in 2002 as Pirita Palliklubi (Pirita Ball Club), the same year they joined the Korvpalli Meistriliiga (KML), the top tier of Estonian basketball. In their first season, they reached the Estonian Cup final, but lost 76–92 to TÜ/Rock.{{cite web|url=https://tallinnakalev.ee/tlukalev-ajalugu|title=TLÜ/Kalev ajalugu|language=et|website=TallinnaKalev.ee|accessdate=1 March 2022}}

Prior to the 2008–09 season, BC Pirita joined the Tallinn Sports Association Kalev and changed their name to Tallinna Kalev. In July 2010, Tallinna Kalev merged operations with TTÜ Korvpalliklubi.{{cite web|url=https://sport.delfi.ee/artikkel/32115079/fotod-uus-korvpalliklubi-tallinna-kalevttu-on-loodud|title=FOTOD: uus korvpalliklubi Tallinna Kalev/TTÜ on loodud!|language=et|work=Delfi Sport|date=13 July 2010|accessdate=1 March 2023}} They played as TTÜ/Kalev and TTÜ/Kalev II through the 2010–11 season. However, the partnership ended after just one season, and Tallinna Kalev continued independently.

In 2014, the team became affiliated with Tallinn University (TLÜ). They made their debut in a European competition by competing in the 2016–17 season of the FIBA Europe Cup, but failed to advance past the group stage. Coached by former NBA player Martin Müürsepp, Tallinna Kalev/TLÜ made the KML Finals for the first time in team history in 2019. However, they were swept in three games by defending champion BC Kalev/Cramo.{{cite web|url=http://www.basket.ee/et/meistriliiga/1/uudised/?news_id=6054|title=Igas elemendis Tallinna Kalev/TLÜ-st parem olnud BC Kalev/Cramo tuli oodatult Eesti meistriks|website=Basket.ee|date=22 May 2019|language=et|accessdate=1 March 2023}}

For the 2022–23 season, Tallinna Kalev merged operations with Audentes Sports Club.{{cite web|url=https://sport.delfi.ee/artikkel/120014042/tallinna-kalev-uhines-audentesega-jargmise-hooaja-eesmargiks-on-sekkuda-medaliheitlusse|title=Tallinna Kalev ühines Audentesega, järgmise hooaja eesmärgiks on sekkuda medaliheitlusse|language=et|work=Delfi Sport|date=1 June 2022|accessdate=1 March 2023}} The team withdrew from the top-tier competitions following the 2023–24 season.
