During theGerman occupation of Luxembourg, the club played in theGauliga Moselland under the name of FK Niederkorn, where it finished runners-up in 1942–43, behind championsTuS Neuendorf.
Three times domestic league winners, the club's most successful years were at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s. They haven't won a major trophy since the 1981 league title.
In the 2005–06 season, Niederkorn finished second in Luxembourg's second division, theDivision of Honour. As the top league, theNational Division, expanded from twelve teams to fourteen, Niederkorn were promoted along withDifferdange 03.

On 4 July 2017, Progrès beat Scottish sideRangers in the 1st qualifying round of the2017–18 UEFA Europa League. They overcame a 1–0 defeat atIbrox with a2–0 win at the Stade Josy Barthel, having scored only once before in European competition. This victory was also the club's first ever win in European football.[2] They enjoyed an even greater campaign in the2018–19 UEFA Europa League, defeatingFK Gabala andBudapest Honvéd FC to reach the third qualifying round against Russian sideFC Ufa. The tie seemed destined for extra-time but a last-minute goal for Ufa sent Progres out, denying them a rematch against Rangers in the play-offs.
