Karlbergs BK is a Swedish football club originating from Karlberg in Birkastaden, an area in the southwestern part of Vasastan in central Stockholm.{{cite web |url= http://www.karlbergsbk.se/ |title= Karlbergs BK – Fotboll Klubb |access-date=2011-01-28}} As Vasastan has no full sized football pitches, the club relocated to neighbouring Kungsholmen and has the majority of its operations on the island.
Background
Karlbergs Bollklubb were formed on 15 May 1912 at a meeting held in a property at Karlbergsvägen 74 in Vasastan. Almost a century after this historic meeting over a thousand boys and girls from Vasastan, Lindhagen and Kungsholmen districts wear the club's red and white colours.{{cite web |url= http://www.karlbergsbk.se/fakta-kb |title= Karlbergs BK historia |access-date= 2011-01-28 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100811165749/http://www.karlbergsbk.se/fakta-kb |archive-date= 11 August 2010 |url-status= dead }} The name of the club was later changed to "Widar" before being registered as Karlbergs Bollklubb in 1919.
Since their foundation Karlbergs BK has participated mainly in the middle and lower divisions of the Swedish football league system. The club currently plays professionally in Ettan Norra which is the third tier of Swedish football.{{cite web |url= http://www.everysport.com/sport/fotboll/fotbollsserier-2011/division-3-herr/norra-svealand/44193 |title= Norra Svealand - Division 3 – Fotbollsserier 2011 – Fotboll – everysport.com |access-date=2011-01-28}} They play their home matches at Stadshagens IP on Kungsholmen in central Stockholm.{{cite web |url= https://svenskfotboll.se/svensk-fotboll/om-svff/distrikten/?scr=table&ftid=31374|title= Tabell och resultat – Div 3 Norra Svealand, herrar – Svenskfotboll.se |access-date=2011-01-28}}

During 2016, the first season in division II, Kalle Karlsson once again reached promotion qualification playoffs, but narrowly lost in the final phase of the playoffs. Following the 2016 season, Kalle Karlsson left Karlbergs BK to join Vasalunds IF. After a mediocre 2017 season for Karlberg, Kalle Karlsson returned to the club for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, and led Karlberg to promotion qualification playoffs both years, but failed on both occasions to take the final step to division I. Following the 2019 season, Kalle Karlsson left for an assistant coach role at Superettan club Västerås SK, and 24 year old coaching talent Douglas Jakobsen was selected to manage Karlbergs BK for the 2020 season.{{cite web |url=http://karlbergsbk.se/kalle-karlsson-lamnar-karlbergs-bk-dags-for-en-ny-utmaning/ |title=Kalle Karlsson lämnar Karlbergs BK: "Dags för en ny utmaning" – Karlbergs BK |website=karlbergsbk.se |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191122065441/http://karlbergsbk.se/kalle-karlsson-lamnar-karlbergs-bk-dags-for-en-ny-utmaning/ |archive-date=2019-11-22}}
