History
The club was founded in 1974. In 2002, he reached the 3rd division for the first time. In 2015, after several second places, the team was promoted to the second division. In the first season in the second division, they finally won the championship in the last round and were thus promoted to the first division. In its first season in the first division, the club changed its name to Saran Loiret Handball. In order to maintain his position, the team signed the French world champion Igor Anić.{{cite news|url=https://www.larep.fr/saran-45770/sports/handball-d1-le-champion-du-monde-francais-igor-anic-signe-au-saran-hb_11955616/|publisher=La République Du Centre|title=Handball / D1 : le champion du monde français Igor Anic signe au Saran HB|language=fr|date=12 June 2016|access-date=29 May 2025}} The club had the smallest budget in the league{{cite news|url=https://www.midilibre.fr/2016/09/20/dans-l-ombre-du-paris-sg,1396391.php|publisher=Midi Libre|title=Handball / Reprise de la D1 : Montpellier et Nîmes en quête de lumière|language=fr|access-date=29 May 2025}} at the time and were almost relegated at the end of the season.

After promotion to Ligue 1 in 2023, the first team will leave Saran and play their home games at the Palais des sports d'Orléans.{{cite news|url=https://www.francebleu.fr/sports/basket-handball-volley/handball-les-septors-de-saran-demenagent-au-palais-des-sports-d-orleans-1578700|publisher=Ici|title=Handball : les Septors de Saran déménagent au Palais des sports d'Orléans|access-date=29 May 2025|language=fr}}
