History
BC Shumen was founded in 1950 and played in the lower divisions of the Bulgarian basketball system for several decades. From 1986 to 2002, the team played in the top basketball league of Bulgaria (NBL). In the span of just four seasons at the end of the 20th century, BC Shumen (then playing as Ficosota Shumen) finished second in the regular season, third in the playoffs on two occasions, and was a finalist in the 1999 Bulgarian Basketball Cup, losing to BC Cherno More. The team also took part in the 1995–96, 1997–98 and 1998–99 seasons of the FIBA Korać Cup, reaching the round of 64 in 1995–96.
BC Shumen returned to the top tier NBL division for the 2021–22 season, ending nearly 20 years of absence. During the 2023–24 season, the team finished 7th and reached the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
