Jagiellonia Białystok was founded by soldiers in the Reserve Battalion of the 42nd Infantry Regiment on May 30, 1920.{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.pl/cms,40,historia.html |title=Jagiellonia Białystok history |publisher=jagiellonia.pl |date=2013-02-12 |access-date=2015-10-30 |archive-date=2018-10-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181015192404/http://www.jagiellonia.pl/cms,40,historia.html |url-status=live }} The team's original name was shortened to KSBZ 42 PP.{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,4870,poczatki-jagiellonii.html |title=Początki Jagiellonii |publisher=jagiellonia.pl |date=2010-01-29 |access-date=2017-05-03 |language=pl |archive-date=2019-09-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190903094315/http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,4870,poczatki-jagiellonii.html |url-status=live }} Their first game was played on 30 May 1920 against Kresowcy Białystok which they won 5–1.{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,5496,90-lat-od-pierwszego-meczu.html |title=90 lat od pierwszego meczu |publisher=jagiellonia.pl |date=2010-05-30 |access-date=2017-05-03 |language=pl |archive-date=2020-12-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201229191404/http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,5496,90-lat-od-pierwszego-meczu.html |url-status=live }} Later the team name was changed to WKS 42 PP, an abbreviation for Wojskowy Klub Sportowy, which means Army Sport Club. On November 2, 1930 WKS 42PP lost 1–2 against WKS 82 PP for the play-offs to advance to Division 1. January 27, 1932 was the first time Jagiellonia was introduced into the club's name when it was changed to Białystok Sports Club Jagiellonia. The term Jagiellonia refers to the Jagiellonian dynasty which ruled Poland for two centuries.{{cite web |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Jagiellon-dynasty |title=Jagiellonian Dynasty |publisher=Britannica.com |date=2008-03-10 |access-date=2017-04-29 |archive-date=2018-01-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180101193316/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Jagiellon-dynasty |url-status=live }} Around the same time, the club's coat of arms was also introduced with its red and yellow colours. In 1938, due to financial problems, the club dissolved and ceased to exist until its reactivation in 1945. Unfortunately, in June the following year, with the new government in place there was no room for Jagiellonia, mostly because of the history with the Bolsheviks in 1920 and the 42nd Infantry Regiment.{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,4860,geneza-nazwy- |title=Geneza nazwy "Jagiellonia" |publisher=jagiellonia.pl |date=2010-01-27 |access-date=2017-03-29 |language=pl |archive-date=2017-09-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170926235400/http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,4860,geneza-nazwy- |url-status=live }} On January 26, 1957 the merging of Budowlani Białystok and Sparta Białystok reactivated Sports Club Jagiellonia Białystok with the original yellow-red-black crest restored.{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,2143,poczatki-jagiellonii-siegaja-roku-1920--nie-maja-watpliwosci-historycy.html |title=Początki Jagiellonii sięgają roku 1920 - nie mają watpliwości historycy |publisher=jagiellonia.pl |date=2007-11-01 |access-date=2017-03-29 |language=pl |archive-date=2017-03-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170330085434/http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,2143,poczatki-jagiellonii-siegaja-roku-1920--nie-maja-watpliwosci-historycy.html |url-status=live }}

In mid-1920, many players fought in the Polish–Soviet War. In November 1920, the club resumed activities. In 1920–1923, most of the matches Jagiellonia played were either friendlies or small tournaments in Białystok. The club joined the regular league in 1924, starting in klasa B in the Wilno OZPN district. The season was a success, winning the first season and gaining promotion to klasa A. Due to a pause in the league, there were no games in 1925.{{cite web |url=http://www.hppn.pl/liga/ekstraklasa |title=Historia polskiej ekstraklasy |publisher=hppn.pl |access-date=2017-03-22 |language=pl |archive-date=2017-02-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170223141433/http://www.hppn.pl/liga/ekstraklasa |url-status=live }} In 1926, the league started up again with the team being in klasa A. The team was doing well, finishing third in the following season. Later through the years the match officials were being paid off to make the Białystok team not do well and ultimately get demoted. In 1929, it was decided to change districts where Jagiellonia played to the newly formed Białystok OZPN.
=1930s=
In 1930 42PP, the club's name at the time, was the most successful thus far. They appeared in the play-offs for the top division in the country. At the end of the play-offs Jagiellonia and another team, WKS 82 pp Brześć, were tied for points and had to play one more game at a neutral ground to see who was the winner to that season. Jagiellonia fell to WKS 82 pp Brześć 2–1.{{cite web |url=http://jagiellonia.net/aktualnosci,1370.html |title=Duma Podlasia |publisher=jagiellonia.net |date=2015-02-01 |access-date=2017-10-19 |language=pl |archive-date=2017-10-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171019221351/http://jagiellonia.net/aktualnosci,1370.html |url-status=live }} Jagiellonia did win the district championship that season but it was the last trophy they won before World War II.
A big moment for the club was on January 27, 1932 when the WKS 42 PP football team and the KS Związku Młodzieży Wiejskiej athletics club merged to create a new multi-sports club called Białostocki Klub Sportowy (Białystok Sports Club) Jagiellonia. It is not known who created the team's new crest but what is known is that it had to do with the history of the Jagiellonian dynasty, which ruled Poland between 1386 and 1572. Several more departments were founded, including volleyball, basketball, boxing. The most successful team sport section was the volleyball team, which qualified to the Polish Championships in 1933 and 1934, finishing 7th and 8th respectively.{{cite news|author=|title=Cracovia i A.Z.S.

In the mid-thirties Jagiellonia began to experience problems, the city was not able to maintain the club. In 1932, the military stationed in Białystok took an active role in trying to save the club, along with the municipal government in 1936 the club's name changed to Military Sports Club Jagiellonia. Unfortunately, this decision did not solve the problem completely. In 1938, the club joined the A-class 1937/38 season but had to withdraw shortly after due to financial reasons. All the matches were cancelled and all the players were forced to find new clubs. Most of the players joined Strzelec Białystok and played there for two seasons before World War II broke out in 1939 and closed the first chapter in the history of the club.{{cite web |url=http://www.hppn.pl/liga/sezon-po-sezonie/65,sezon-1939 |title=Sezon 1939 |access-date=2017-07-17 |publisher=hppn.pl |language=pl |archive-date=2020-01-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200109135608/http://www.hppn.pl/liga/sezon-po-sezonie/65,sezon-1939 |url-status=live }}
=World War II=
Many players of Jagiellonia fought in defense of Poland during the German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, and then many joined the Polish resistance movement during the subsequent occupation.{{cite web|url=https://bialystok.ipn.gov.pl/pl1/aktualnosci/100563,Stulecie-Jagiellonii-Bialystok-100-lat-temu-zolnierze-42-Pulku-Piechoty-rozegral.html|title=Stulecie Jagiellonii Białystok – 100 lat temu żołnierze 42 Pułku Piechoty rozegrali swój pierwszy mecz|website=Instytut Pamięci Narodowej|language=pl|access-date=16 March 2025}} Several players were murdered by the Russians in the Katyn massacre in 1940, whereas the fate of vice-chairman Seweryn Nowakowski, who was arrested by the NKVD, remains unknown.
=After World War II=
After the second world war Jagiellonia was revived mostly in part by Karol Kowalczyński,{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,4875,reaktywacja-jagiellonii.html |title=Reaktywacja Jagiellonii |publisher=jagiellonia.pl |date=2010-02-01 |access-date=2017-05-04 |language=pl |archive-date=2019-02-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190218022632/http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,4875,reaktywacja-jagiellonii.html |url-status=live }} but the revival was short-lived as the club dissolved on 20 June 1946.{{cite web |url=https://www.jagiellonia.net/dzial,9.html |title=Historia |publisher=jagiellonia.net |date=2014-12-27 |access-date=2017-03-15 |language=pl |archive-date=2020-11-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125082733/https://jagiellonia.net/dzial,9.html |url-status=live }} In the place of the disbanded Jagiellonia came Motor Białystok, which became the champion of the Białystok region and advanced to the Polish championship in 1946. Next year Motor Białystok joined the struggle for the Polish championship and the right to get into I league. In 1949 Białystok had a new team called Budowlani Białystok and in 1951 Motor Białystok merged into Budowlani Białystok.{{cite web | title = Gazeta Białostocka 1957 R. 7 | access-date = 11 March 2017 | publisher = pbc.biaman.pl | url = http://pbc.biaman.pl/dlibra/publication?id=21096&tab=3 | archive-date = 20 October 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201020093919/http://pbc.biaman.pl/dlibra/publication?id=21096&tab=3 | url-status = live }} In 1955 Budowlani Białystok changed its name to BKS Jagiellonia Białystok. On 26 January 1957, a merger of two clubs, Jagiellonia Białystok and Sparta, resulted in a club called Jagiellonia. For the second time in its history Jagiellonia had the host stadium of Stadium Zwierzyniecki.{{cite web |url=http://www.wspolczesna.pl/komentarze-i-opinie/a/o-jedynym-prawdziwym-stadionie-miejskim-w-bialymstoku-ktory-byl-swiatynia-futbolu,10092404/ |title=O jedynym, prawdziwym Stadionie Miejskim w Białymstoku, który był świątynią futbolu |date=2016-06-09 |access-date=2017-03-29 |publisher=wspolczesna.pl |language=pl |archive-date=2019-02-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190218082003/https://wspolczesna.pl/o-jedynym-prawdziwym-stadionie-miejskim-w-bialymstoku-ktory-byl-swiatynia-futbolu/ar/10092404 |url-status=live }}

In the early 70s the team played in Klasa A and in the district league. The team's situation changed when Michał Urban became coach of the team, players started to go to a modern training camp with modern drills. Many young players started playing for the club, including future representatives for the Polish national team juniors. Grzegorz Bielatowicz joined the club as a scout and found a few young talents from the north-east region,{{cite web |url=http://sport.interia.pl/raporty/raport-euro-2016/aktualnosci/news-polak-uczyl-islandczykow-grac-w-pilke-do-dzis-go-tam-pamieta,nId,2229624 |title=Z Białegostoku na Wyspę Gejzerów |publisher=sport.interia.pl |date=2016-07-03 |access-date=2017-03-24 |language=pl |archive-date=2019-02-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190205021439/https://sport.interia.pl/raporty/raport-euro-2016/aktualnosci/news-polak-uczyl-islandczykow-grac-w-pilke-do-dzis-go-tam-pamieta,nId,2229624 |url-status=live }} among them was Jerzy Zawiślan who was the 2nd top scorer in the II League 1975–76 season who scored 13 goals.{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,4949,zawislan-jerzy.html |title=Zawiślan Jerzy |publisher=jagiellonia.pl |date=2010-02-04 |access-date=2017-03-24 |language=pl |archive-date=2017-03-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170325030821/http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,4949,zawislan-jerzy.html |url-status=live }} The team started to have some success and were promoted to Division II after winning the promotion play-offs in the 1974–75 season. The team was eventually promoted to League II in 1975, but the success was short-lived after only being there for 3 seasons, Jagiellonia was relegated in 1978. At the end of the 70s Jerzy Bołtuć, Leszek Frelek, Ryszard Karalus and Zbigniew Skoczylas began a large youth project to bring in a strong and young new team.
=1980s=
In the 1982–83 season, the club, led by Grzegorz Bielatowicz, had a successful run finishing first place with a nine-point advantage over second place, Gwardia Szczytno, promoting the team to Division II. With Olympic silver medalist Janusz Wójcik as coach, the team played a number of good seasons in Division II finishing third in 1986 and the following year was promoted to I Liga for the first time in the club's history.{{cite web |url=http://jurowiecka21.pl/janusz-wojcik-i-jego-zolto-czerwoni-cz-3/ |title=Janusz Wójcik i jego "żółto-czerwoni" |publisher=jurowiecka21.pl |date=2011-10-11 |access-date=2017-03-22 |archive-date=2020-08-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808004844/http://jurowiecka21.pl/janusz-wojcik-i-jego-zolto-czerwoni-cz-3/ |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |url=http://www.gol24.pl/kibice/a/jagiellonia-bialystok-kibicowskich-wspomnien-czar,9617218/ |title=Jagiellonia Białystok: Kibicowskich wspomnień czar |publisher=gol24.pl |date=2012-11-04 |access-date=2017-03-22 |archive-date=2017-03-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170323052507/http://www.gol24.pl/kibice/a/jagiellonia-bialystok-kibicowskich-wspomnien-czar,9617218/ |url-status=live }} In addition, the top scorer in the competition was a later representative of Poland, Jacek Bayer who netted 20 times for Jagiellonia.
Matches in the second league in Białystok were already averaging 15 thousand viewers. The first match in the return to Ekstraklasa had estimated 35-40 thousand supporters.{{cite web |url=http://jagiellonia.salon24.pl/304562,jagiellonia-widzew-1-1-9-08-1987 |title=Jagiellonia - Widzew 1:1 [9.08.1987] |publisher=salon24.pl |date=2011-05-07 |access-date=2017-03-26 |language=pl |archive-date=2017-03-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170327172338/http://jagiellonia.salon24.pl/304562,jagiellonia-widzew-1-1-9-08-1987 |url-status=live }} Every home match following the first was viewed by no less than 20 thousand fans in the stands. Stories from witnesses said they recall buses of supporters come from villages all over the region. The first few seasons did not turn out well for the Białystok team as they finished 8th twice and then 16th, which meant they were relegated. A year later the team lost the playoffs for promotion in a penalty shoot-out against Zagłębie Sosnowiec.{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.pl/aktualnosci/czytaj,19052,z-pogonia-szczecin-po-raz-27-historia.html |title=Z Pogonią Szczecin po raz 27.

In the 2024–25 European campaign, Jagiellonia Białystok started in the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round, defeating Panevėžys with an aggregate score of 7–1 (3–1 at home, 4–0 away). In the third qualifying round, they faced Bodø/Glimt and were eliminated with a 1–5 aggregate loss (0–1 at home, 1–4 away). This led Jagiellonia to the UEFA Europa League play-off round, where they played against Ajax but were defeated 1–7 on aggregate (1–4 at home, 0–3 away).{{Cite web |title=Jagiellonia nie postawiła się Ajaksowi.

Club's crest
The club's crest and colours first appeared in 1932.{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.net/aktualnosci,7100.html |title=The Crest of Jagiellonia |publisher=jagiellonia.net |date=2013-05-01 |access-date=2015-10-30 |archive-date=2015-05-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150506022747/http://www.jagiellonia.net/aktualnosci,7100.html |url-status=live }} The original crest consisted of a black, stylized letter "J" and a yellow and cherry red colour shield, while the flag and the jerseys of the club were white and black. It was not until the mid-80s that fans began to use yellow-red as club colours, but official documents at the time still use the white and black colours. Currently, the team's official colours are yellow-red, but in reference to history the team's away colours are white and black.

Ground
{{Main|Białystok Municipal Stadium}}
Jagiellonia's first formal stadium was constructed in 1971 and had 15,000 seats.{{cite web |url=http://www.jagiellonia.pl/cms,14,stadion.html |title=Stadion |publisher=Jagiellonia.pl |access-date=2017-10-19 |archive-date=2017-06-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170603174243/http://www.jagiellonia.pl/cms,14,stadion.html |url-status=live }} Two years later the stadium's capacity was doubled. It was originally named Hetman Białystok stadium or guards stadium. In 2006, the stadium was taken over by the city of Białystok and renamed Stadion Miejski (Municipal Stadium) which is where the club currently plays their home games.{{cite web |url=http://stadiumdb.com/historical/pol/stadion_miejski_hetman |title=Stadion Miejski w Białymstoku (Stadion Jagiellonii Białystok |publisher=stadiumdb.com |access-date=2017-10-19 |archive-date=2020-02-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200208203221/http://stadiumdb.com/historical/pol/stadion_miejski_hetman |url-status=live }} In 2008, a French-Polish construction company took on the task of renovating the stadium to become more modern. However, in 2012 due to delays the city terminated the contract with the company and hired a new company to finish the job. Spanish-Polish consortium company was hired to finish the job for a sum of PLN 254 million (US$75 million).{{cite web |url=http://www.przegladsportowy.pl/pilka-nozna/lotto-ekstraklasa,stadion-miejski-w-bialymstoku-gotowy-na-20-tysiecy-kibicow,artykul,509087,1,718.html |title=Stadion miejski w Białymstoku gotowy na 20 tysięcy kibiców |publisher=przegladsportowy.pl |date=2014-10-09 |access-date=2017-10-19 |language=pl |archive-date=2017-10-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171019220554/http://www.przegladsportowy.pl/pilka-nozna/lotto-ekstraklasa,stadion-miejski-w-bialymstoku-gotowy-na-20-tysiecy-kibicow,artykul,509087,1,718.html |url-status=dead }} The new 22,372 seat stadium was completed at the end of 2014.{{cite web |url=http://www.poranny.pl/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20120316/BIALYSTOK/120319627 |title=Białystok: Unibep dokończy stadion miejski.

W mieście Białystok,
W tym w którym żyję,
Oddałem serce drużynie.
Ref. (2x): Wstań, unieś barwy,
Wsłuchaj się w słowa,
Pieśni o Mej Jagiellonii.
Moja drużyno,
Ma ukochana,
Pokonasz dzisiaj rywala.
Ref. (2x): Strzelisz 3 bramy,
I znów wygramy,
Klubie Ty Nasz ukochany!}}

Listen to the words,
Song of My Jagiellonia.

My loved one,
You will defeat your rival today.
Chorus. (2x): Shoot 3 goals,
And again we'll win,
Our beloved club you!}}

Match-fixing scandal
The questioning of Jagiellonia's involvement in the corruption scandal that went through the Department of Discipline of the Polish Football Association started on 20 June 2008, when the National Prosecutor's office in Wrocław handed over documents related to fixing 6 games in the II Liga during the 2004-05 season.{{cite web|url=http://www.sports.pl/ekstraklasa/artykul.asp?Artykul=29816 |title=Korona i Jagiellonia bliskie degradacji! |publisher=sports.pl |date=2008-06-20 |access-date=2017-03-15 |language=pl |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090208231458/http://www.sports.pl/ekstraklasa/artykul.asp?Artykul=29816 |archive-date=2009-02-08 }} On 26 June 2008, the Department of Discipline postponed the date that would decide the fate of the club.{{cite web |url=http://www.90minut.pl/news.php?id=743096 |title=Decyzja WD PZPN w sprawie Jagiellonii także odroczona |publisher=90minut.pl |date=2008-06-26 |access-date=2017-03-15 |language=pl |archive-date=2008-06-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080628003257/http://www.90minut.pl/news.php?id=743096 |url-status=live }} On 10 July, there was another extension to the discipline proceedings against the club so the Department of Discipline could get help from the Minister of Justice to obtain further documents from the National Prosecutor.{{cite web |url=http://www.90minut.pl/news.php?id=749804 |title=WD PZPN prosi o pomoc ministra sprawiedliwości |publisher=90minut.pl |date=2008-07-10 |access-date=2017-03-15 |language=pl |archive-date=2008-07-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080712030116/http://www.90minut.pl/news.php?id=749804 |url-status=live }}
On 12 February 2009, Jagiellonia became the 10th club to be penalized for their involvement in the match-fixing scandal. The Department of Discipline of the PZPN imposed a penalty of relegation by one tier in the following season after the judgement became final of five accounts of sports crime.{{cite web |url=http://www2.polskieradio.pl/blogi/naspalonym/wpis/artykul200907.html |title=Prześwietlenie Adama Nawałki.
