History
FK Palanga was founded in 2010 and introduced its first team to the third tier Antra Lyga in 2011.
FK Palanga started off strong and won this championship in the first year with no defeats. As a result of their victory, they were promoted in 2012 to the Primera Lyga (second tier).
FK Palanga plateaued for the next three years, sitting at the bottom of each standing.
This changed in 2015 as they went from strength to strength. The club changed ownership and their scores started to improve. In the Lithuanian Football League I (made up of 18 teams), they came fifth.
The club came in second in 2016.
In 2017, they won the I Lyga and earned a promotion to the A Lyga, the top division in Lithuania. To celebrate their promotion, the club was re-branded including a new logo and new colors of blue and white. The new logo features "1957", which was when the first football club in Palanga was founded.
In 2019, the team was in 7th position in the A Lyga and faced the Pirma Lyga runners-up DFK Dainava in the playoff series. They won promotion play-offs on aggregate 5–0 and saved their place in A Lyga.
Preparation for the 2019 season was started by signing Russian managers Artyom Gorlov and Aleksandr Ushakhin, who replaced the previously resigned Valdas Trakys.
In summer 2019, Vyacheslav Geraschenko became the new head coach, with Algimantas Briaunys joining as an assistant coach on 21 July 2019.
On 5 December 2019, the Lithuanian Football Federation announce that two A Lyga clubs, FK Atlantas Klaipėda and FK Palanga have been excluded from the A Lyga due to manipulation of the match results, fined 42,000 euros and relegated to the II Lyga.
