History

Liss Athletic Football Club was established in 1962. The club joined Division Four of the Hampshire League for the start of the 1975–76 campaign, and were immediately promoted to Division Three when they finished third.

Further promotion followed in the 1979–80 season, when the top two teams expanded and Liss were placed in Division Two, where the club remained for three seasons before leaving the Hampshire League at the end of 1982–83.

The club returned to the Hampshire League for the 1987–88 season, placed into Division Two, where they remained until 1994–95, promoted to Division One as champions.

Liss remained in the top tier of the Hampshire League until the end of the 2003–04 campaign, after which they joined the newly created Division Two of the Wessex League, which then became Division One after two seasons, until the end of the 2007–08 campaign.

Liss joined the newly formed Hampshire Premier League - which had been founded a season earlier, and were twice reprieved from relegation in finished bottom of the table in consecutive seasons of 2010-11 and 11-12 - with the club's best finish in recent years in 2015–16, when they finished fourth.

The same season saw Liss reach the League Cup final, defeated 2-0 by Hamble Club at AFC Portchester - while the reserves brought silverware by completing the Combination (East) League and Cup double.

After two abandoned seasons owing to the Covid pandemic, 2021/22 saw a new-look Liss Athletic finish just above the relegation spots under manager, Mark Glazier, with opportunity handed to a number of youth team players, where the club operates a side at every age group as part of its growing set-up.

Twelve months later, the side progressed to mid-table, while reaching its first League Cup semi-final for six years.

Continued on-field improvements saw the club rank fifth in 2023/24 – their highest HPFL finish for eight years.
