Burnley Football Club, founded in 1882, is a historic English football club based in Burnley, Lancashire. Known as “The Clarets” due to their distinctive claret and blue kits, the team has a storied history in English football. Burnley was one of the 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888 and achieved early success, winning their first league title in 1920–21.

The club enjoyed its golden era during the 1950s and 1960s, capturing another league title in 1959–60 and reaching the European Cup quarter-finals in 1961. Turf Moor, their home ground since 1883, is one of the oldest continuously used football stadiums in the world.

After periods of decline and lower-league football, Burnley experienced a resurgence in the 21st century under managers like Sean Dyche, returning to the Premier League in 2009 and becoming renowned for their tenacious spirit and loyal fan base.
