Founded in 1890, Servette are one of the most prolific Swiss football clubs, having won 17 Swiss league championships and seven Swiss cups. Servette was also the winner of the Torneo Internazionale Stampa Sportiva, one of the first international football competitions in the world, in 1908. In 1930, Servette organized the Coupe des Nations, predecessor of the UEFA Champions League.

The club was originally founded as the "Football Club de la Servette", a rugby football team based in the Genevan neighbourhood of the same name. Due to the dwindling popularity of this sport in Switzerland, a football section of the club was created, leading to its integration in the Swiss Football Association in 1900.{{cite web|url=https://servettefc.ch/index.php/club/histoire|title=Histoire du Servette FC|publisher=servettefc.ch|access-date=24 October 2022|archive-date=24 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221024115835/https://servettefc.ch/index.php/club/histoire|url-status=live}}

Led by Umberto Barberis and Claude "Didi" Andrey, in 1978–1979 the club won all of the competitions it entered – with the exception of the European Cup Winners' Cup where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals on away goals by Fortuna Düsseldorf, that year's finalist. Barberis later became French champion in 1982 with AS Monaco.

Until its bankruptcy, Servette was the only Swiss club to have remained in the top league since its creation in 1890. Servette remained the only club to have never been relegated for sporting reasons, until they finished last in the 2012–2013 season.

On 4 February 2005, the parent company of the club was declared bankrupt.{{cite news|url=http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=sui/news/newsid=280480.html|title=Final curtain for Servette|publisher=UEFA|date=16 February 2005|access-date=25 May 2012|archive-date=14 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160914050124/http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/association=sui/news/newsid=280480.html|url-status=dead}} It had run debts of over 10 million Swiss francs, having not paid the players since the previous November, and consequently the club suffered an exodus of players looking for paying clubs. As a consequence of the bankruptcy Servette Under 21s took over the club name playing two divisions below the original Servette team in 1. Liga, a fate already experienced by regional rivals Lausanne Sports in 2003, and continued to play at the Stade de Geneve in front of smaller crowds.

In the 2005–06 season, a rejuvenated Servette secured promotion to the Challenge League, the second highest division in Switzerland.

In the 2010–11 season, Servette finished 2nd in the Challenge League, thereby qualifying for a relegation/promotion play-off against Super League team AC Bellinzona. Servette lost the initial match in Bellinzona 1–0, but won the return match 3–1 and winning the tie 3–2 on aggregate, securing promotion to the Swiss Super League.{{cite news|url=http://archives.tdg.ch/actu/sports/servette-fc-ac-bellinzone-ultime-match-super-league-2011-05-31|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120707121312/http://archives.tdg.ch/actu/sports/servette-fc-ac-bellinzone-ultime-match-super-league-2011-05-31|url-status=dead|archive-date=7 July 2012|title=Servette FC en Super League!|publisher=Tribune De Geneve|language=fr|date=31 May 2011}}

During the Summer 2011 transfer window, Servette FC made very few signings, considering the club had been promoted from the second division to the Super League.

Costinha, a former Portugal international and Champions League winner with FC Porto, was appointed as the club's Sporting Director, after he had been previously fired by Lisbon-based Sporting CP. With a largely unchanged squad from their previous season in the second division, Servette achieved very impressive results in the first half of the season, including victories over FC Zurich, BSC Young Boys, Neuchatel Xamax, FC Lucerne, local rivals FC Lausanne-Sport and a 4–0 away win over arch-rivals FC Sion.{{cite news|url=http://www.servettefc.ch/fr/saison/calendrier.php|title=Servette Football Club Calandrier 2011–12|publisher=Servette FC|language=fr|date=21 May 2012|access-date=25 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120217021113/http://www.servettefc.ch/fr/saison/calendrier.php|archive-date=17 February 2012|url-status=dead}} Despite achieving overall impressive results in the first half of the season, manager João Alves was fired, and was replaced by his compatriot João Pereira,{{cite news|url=http://www.20min.ch/ro/sports/football/story/31430833|title=Servette remercie son entraineur|trans-title=Servette sacks its manager|publisher=20 Minutes|language=fr|date=28 November 2011|access-date=25 May 2012|archive-date=7 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140107102824/http://www.20min.ch/ro/sports/football/story/31430833|url-status=live}} to the disappointment of many of Servette's supporters.

In December 2011, reports surfaced that Servette was unable to pay players' salaries, in addition to other expenses. In January 2012, one of the club's star performers and leading goalscorers, Matías Vitkieviez, was sold to Young Boys for only 150,000 CHF.{{cite news|url=http://www.lematin.ch/sports/football/Vitkieviez-a-Young-Boys/story/30763614|title=Vitkieviez à Young Boys|publisher=Le Matin|language=fr|date=16 January 2011|access-date=25 May 2012|archive-date=20 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220083344/http://www.lematin.ch/sports/football/Vitkieviez-a-Young-Boys/story/30763614|url-status=live}} In February 2012, Servette filed for bankruptcy a second time. On 12 March 2012, chairman Majid Pishyar sold the club to a consortium headed by Hugh Quennec, president of the city's hockey club, Genève-Servette HC. The club was initially given one month to secure the funding necessary to come out of bankruptcy proceedings, and was successful in doing so. Pishyar remained as "honorary president" through the end of the 2011–12 season.{{cite news|url=http://www.servettefc.ch/fr/actualite/article-4259.html|title=Communiqué de presse|publisher=Servette FC|language=fr|date=8 March 2012|access-date=25 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304032420/http://www.servettefc.ch/fr/actualite/article-4259.html|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}

In April 2012, the decision was made to reinstate manager João Alves, who had achieved promotion and impressive results in the first half of the season, and to fire his replacement João Pereira,{{cite news|url=http://www.tdg.ch/sports/sfc/quennec-rappelle-alves-tete-servette/story/19727327|title=Surprise: Hugh Quennec rappelle Alves à la tête du Servette FC!|trans-title=Surprise: Hugh Quennec recalls Alves to the head of Servette FC!|publisher=Tribune De Geneve|language=fr|date=24 April 2012|access-date=25 May 2012|archive-date=27 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120427001920/http://www.tdg.ch/sports/sfc/quennec-rappelle-alves-tete-servette/story/19727327|url-status=live}} who had failed to improve the club's results. Alves' return immediately led to improved results, and the club finished the season's final five matches with four wins and one draw. This included a 2–1 victory over FC Basel on the final day of the season, which ended a run of 17 consecutive losses against FC Basel dating back to 2001, as well as ending Basel's 26 match unbeaten streak.{{cite news|url=http://www.tdg.ch/sports/sfc/extraordinaire-apotheose-servette-follement-europeen/story/14592341|title=Extraordinaire apothéose pour un Servette follement européen|trans-title=Extraordinary climax for a wildly European Servette|publisher=Tribune De Geneve|language=fr|date=21 May 2012|access-date=25 May 2012|archive-date=24 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120524045845/http://www.tdg.ch/sports/sfc/extraordinaire-apotheose-servette-follement-europeen/story/14592341|url-status=live}} The victory also meant that Servette secured fourth place in their first season back in Switzerland's top flight, granting Servette entry into the second round of qualifying for the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League. The season ended with further good news, as on 24 May 2012, the Swiss Football League granted Servette its license for the 2012–13 season,{{cite news|url=http://www.tdg.ch/geneve/actu-genevoise/servette-sorti-seance-reste-optimiste/story/10666674|title=Le Servette FC obtient sa licence 2012–2013|trans-title=Servette FC obtains its 2012–13 license|publisher=Tribune De Geneve|language=fr|date=24 May 2012|access-date=25 May 2012|archive-date=30 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120530075704/http://www.tdg.ch/geneve/actu-genevoise/servette-sorti-seance-reste-optimiste/story/10666674|url-status=live}} thus marking the end of Servette's financial worries for the time being.

On 12 July 2012, it was confirmed that Servette would face Gandzasar FC in the second round of qualifying for the 2012–13 UEFA Europa League. The club won the tie 5–1, progressing to face Rosenborg BK in the third qualifier round, against whom they were eliminated on away goals. Servette's league campaign, meanwhile, went poorly, and the club was relegated (for sporting reasons) for the first time in its 113-year history in May 2013, following a 3–0 away defeat by relegation rivals FC Lausanne-Sport.{{cite news|url=http://www.tdg.ch/sports/sfc/Triste-sort-pour-Servette-relegue-en-Challenge-League/story/23868544|title=Triste sort pour Servette, relégué en Challenge League|publisher=Tribune de Geneve|language=fr|date=29 May 2013|access-date=11 April 2016|archive-date=22 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160422182242/http://www.tdg.ch/sports/sfc/Triste-sort-pour-Servette-relegue-en-Challenge-League/story/23868544|url-status=live}}

In 2018, Servette hired Alain Geiger as its manager and achieved promotion back to the Swiss Super League as the 2018–2019 Challenge League champions, with a 15-point lead in front of 2nd ranked FC Aarau.{{cite web |url=https://www.sfl.ch/statistik-archiv/archiv/challenge-league/saison-archiv/201819/ |title=Detailrangliste |access-date=30 December 2021 |archive-date=30 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211230165459/https://www.sfl.ch/statistik-archiv/archiv/challenge-league/saison-archiv/201819/ |url-status=live }} For the first time in more than 15 years, the club has since enjoyed relative stability at the financial, managerial and sport levels, achieving a 4th-place finish in the 2019–2020 Super League, a 3rd place in 2020–2021, a 6th place in 2021–2022 and even a 2nd place in 2022–2023, giving it for the first time a shot for the Champions League.

On 20 March 2023, Servette announced that the current season would be Geiger's last, with René Weiler being chosen to take over for the 2023–2024 season.{{Cite web|url=https://servettefc.ch/rene-weiler-sera-le-prochain-entraineur-du-servette-fc/|title=René Weiler sera le prochain entraîneur du Servette FC|trans-title=René Weiler to be Servette FC's next coach|publisher=Servette FC|language=fr|date=20 March 2023|access-date=30 September 2023}} Weiler led Servette to their first Swiss Cup final since 2001.{{cite web|url=https://www.football.ch/sfv/schweizer-cups/schweizer-cup/News/schweizer-cup-maenner-cognat-schiesst-servette-in-den-final.aspx|title=Schweizer Cup Männer: Cognat schiesst Servette in den Final|language=de|date=2024-04-28|access-date=2024-04-29|publisher=SFV}} On 2 June 2024, Servette won the cup final after a penalty shoot-out against FC Lugano, winning their first title in 23 years.{{cite web|url=https://www.football.ch/sfv/schweizer-cups/schweizer-cup/News/maenner-cupfinal-servette-fc-erstmals-seit-23-jahren-cupsieger.aspx|title=Männer-Cupfinal: Servette FC erstmals seit 23 Jahren Cupsieger|publisher=SFV|date=2 June 2024|access-date=3 June 2024}}

On 10 June 2024, the club announced a new organizational structure, with Weiler stepping down as head coach and instead taking over as sporting director.{{cite web|url=https://servettefc.ch/communique-officiel-du-servette-fc/|title=Communiqué officiel du Servette FC|publisher=Servette FC|date=10 June 2024|access-date=11 June 2024|language=fr-ch}} He is replaced by Thomas Häberli as head coach. Hervé Boch will be the new chairman.

The home ground of Servette is the Stade de Genève. It was inaugurated on 16 March 2003 after three years of construction. The opening match was played between Servette and Young Boys. With an all-seater capacity of 30,084, the Stade de Genève is the third largest stadium in Switzerland, and hosted three group matches in the 2008 European Football Championship.

Servette moved to the Stade de Genève from their old ground, the Stade des Charmilles, in 2003. The Charmilles was inaugurated on 28 June 1930, with the first game drawing a crowd of 14,000 on the first match of the Coupe des Nations. The official capacity peaked at 30,000, but a record 40,000 spectators managed to squeeze in for the international game between Switzerland and France on 14 October 1951. Flood lights were installed in 1977 and the stands were entirely covered in 1983. The capacity gradually diminished from the 1980s onward, first to 20,000 in 1985 and then to 9,250 in 1998 when the stadium became an all-seater.

Plans for a new stadium were first launched in 1984, in response to the Charmilles becoming increasingly outdated and run down. A project committee was established in 1992, which proposed to either rebuild the stadium over the course of four years or construct a new stadium elsewhere in Geneva. Meanwhile, with more substantial plans failing to materialize, the poor state of the old stadium became apparent when the main stand, the Tribune A, was declared unsafe in 1995 and closed off. A renovation project began the following year, which saw the main stand re-opened and seats eventually being installed throughout the stadium. Servette would secure another Swiss Championship and a Cup trophy while playing at the Charmilles, before construction on the new Stade de Genève finally commenced in 2000. The last match was played on 8 December 2002 in front of a capacity crowd.
