Since the 1990s, Nethaji Sports Club participated inMadras Football League, conducted by the Chennai Football Association (CFA).[24][25] In state tournament,Tamil Nadu State League, they finished as runners-up thrice in 2004, 2005–06 and 2007.[26][27][28] Nethaji clinched their first CFA Premier/Senior Division League title in 2009, led by then coach D.

On 11 December 2016, Chennai City was accepted as a direct entry club for the2016–17 I-League season after the withdrawal of Dempo.[32][33][34][35] Thus it became the second club from Tamil Nadu to play in the top division afterIndian Bank Recreational Club team inNational Football League.[36][37][38] Chennai City made it to the Federation Cup by finishing eighth in the I-League table and did it with a game remaining in the league.

Chennai City did decent in their first season at the highest level of the domestic league.[39] Their potential was highlighted when they managed to hold offMohun Bagan for a very long time and even got wins againstAizawl andEast Bengal.[40] In the2016–17 Indian Federation Cup, they were pitted in Group A against Aizawl, East Bengal, andChurchill Brothers. Chennai City lost their first games and was out of contention before playing the last fixture. The team did salvage pride as they won the game against Churchill Brothers emphatically in a 3–1 victory.[41][42][43]

On 6 February 2019, Chennai City FC officially announced that the club agreed a partnership deal withSwiss Super League giantsFC Basel.[44][45] The club owned 26 percent of Chennai City and would develop football in the state by building football schools for young talents.[46][47] FC Basel would also have a player exchange program, including first team players, with CCFC and help the club with technical know how.[48][49]

"Our long-term philosophy is to cultivate our style of football — the Chennai City FC style — throughout the ranks. We want our junior teams to play the same way as the senior team is now playing. That would improve the ecosystem immensely. We want to build the Chennai City model of football inTamil Nadu."

—Rohit Ramesh, owner and CEO of Chennai City FC, on club's long-term philosophy (after their historic I-League triumph).[50]

On 9 March 2019, Chennai City FC beat former championsMinerva Punjab 3–1 to be crowned the 2018–19 I-League champions.[51][52][53] This marked the finish of a very successful season for the club, defying all expectations to win the league.[54][55][56] Spanish-Uruguayan forwardPedro Manzi Cruz also scored a brace in this match, and was the joint top scorer of the league, scoring 21 league goals with record four hat-tricks.[57][58][59][60] This was Chennai City FC's maiden I-League title, and later they represented India at the2020 AFC Champions League playoffs[61] and2020 AFC Cup respectively.[62][63] They played a single game inGroup E of the AFC Cup at their home ground before the competition being abandoned due to theCovid-19 pandemic, in which Chennai City drew 2–2 with Maldivian clubMaziya S&RC on 11 March 2020.[64][65][66] The club then participated in2019 Durand Cup with all-Indian squad.[67] They later went on to participate in2019 edition ofSheikh Kamal International Club Cup in Bangladesh, but failed to advance to the knock-out stages.[68][69][70]
