The club was founded on May 3, 1984, and in the same year joined theTercera División de México.[3] It won its first cup after defeating Los Conejos, at theEstadio Víctor Manuel Reyna in the city ofTuxtla Gutiérrez,Chiapas. The following year, the club finished in third place and played in a promotional playoff with the Lobos and Aguilas B clubs. As a result, the club was promoted to theSegunda B. Still, the owner decided to purchase a franchise in theSegunda A, which allowed the club the chance to be promoted to thePrimera División de México.
When playing in theSegunda A, the club failed its attempts to be promoted, and in the early 1990s, the city reduced resources, and the club once again fell into the lower divisions. In the mid-1990s, the club changed its name toTucanes de Cancun but failed to gain popularity and was forced to change the name back to its original namePioneros. It was not until 2006 when José del Carmen Vázquez Ávila bought the club and proposed a plan to have the franchise in the first division within a couple of years that the club regained local support.
Vázquez's project was made into action in 2007, whenAtlante F.C., then a First Division team, moved from Mexico City to Cancun, which led to Pioneros becoming the second team in the city. Finally, in 2009, the franchise was sold to a new team calledGuerreros de Acapulco. Pioneros maintained its Third Division team, and in the 2010-11 season, an alliance was formed with Atlante to form a development team calledPioneros Potros.
In August 2012, Pioneros were revived as a participating franchise in theLiga de Nuevos Talentos. Duringthe 2013-14 season, Pioneros won the Apertura 2013 tournament, and as a result, the team reached the Final de Ascenso(Promotion Playoff).
On May 24, 2014, Pioneros defeatedSelva Cañera, and the team achieved its promotion to theLiga Premier de Ascenso, the league in which the club currently competes. In January 2015, Pioneros moved to a new stadium and began playing at theEstadio Andrés Quintana Roo, with theEstadio Cancún 86 becoming its alternative ground.[4]
The Pioneros under-13 team participated in the 2019CONCACAF Under-13 Champions League held inCosta Rica.[5]
In July 2022 Pioneros de Cancún became the reserves squad ofCancún F.C. because the Cancún City Council decided to hand over the administration of the team to the company that owns Cancun F.C.[6]
In 2024, the agreement between the Cancún City Council and Cancún F.C. ended, so Pioneros became an independent team again.[2]
