The club also prematurely secured the I Lyga' title.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportas.lt/naujiena/486556/transinvest-uzsitikrino-pirmos-lygos-nugaletoju-titula|title="TransINVEST" užsitikrino Pirmos lygos nugalėtojų titulą|website=sportas.lt|access-date=2024-04-30|archive-date=2023-10-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231027212024/https://www.sportas.lt/naujiena/486556/transinvest-uzsitikrino-pirmos-lygos-nugaletoju-titula|url-status=live}}
The club was granted 2024 A Lyga license. FK Transinvest made their A-League debut with a 3–2 win over FC Hegelmann. The match was nicknamed the "furist derby" because the owners of both clubs are transport companies.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sportas.lt/naujiena/494535/transinvest-debiutas-a-lygoje-rezultatyviausios-turo-rungtynes-ir-dramatiska-pergale-furistu-derbyje|title="TransINVEST" debiutas A lygoje – rezultatyviausios turo rungtynės ir dramatiška pergalė "fūristų" derbyje|website=sportas.lt|access-date=2024-04-30|archive-date=2024-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240304094247/https://www.sportas.lt/naujiena/494535/transinvest-debiutas-a-lygoje-rezultatyviausios-turo-rungtynes-ir-dramatiska-pergale-furistu-derbyje|url-status=live}} FK Transinvest, who won the 2023 Lithuanian Football Cup, won the right to play in the UEFA Conference League. However, UEFA rules indicate that only clubs founded more than 3 years ago can participate in European tournaments - FK Transinvest did not meet this criterion. Nevertheless, an exemption was given to Transinvest, entering them into the second qualifying round of the Conference League.{{Clarify|reason=why?|date=August 2024}}{{cite web |url=https://time.news/uefa-gave-the-green-light-transinvest-will-compete-in-the-selection-of-the-conference-league/ |title=UEFA gave the green light – "TransINVEST" will compete in the selection of the Conference League |publisher=time.news |date=27 April 2024 |access-date=10 May 2024 |archive-date=10 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240510101912/https://time.news/uefa-gave-the-green-light-transinvest-will-compete-in-the-selection-of-the-conference-league/ |url-status=live }}
