BK Fremad Amager is a Danish professional association football club based in Sundbyvester, Copenhagen. This list details the club's achievements in all competitive tournaments including league average attendance figures and top scorers, from the club's founding in June 1910 up to the most recent season. During its first two years of existence, the Amager-based club did not compete in organised league football and participated exclusively in friendly matches. In 1912, Fremad Amager played an integral part in the formation of the sub-regional football association Amager Boldspil-Union (ABU).[2] A few years later, the club also took part in the establishment of the wider-reaching Københavns Forstadsklubbers Boldspil Union (KFBU), before applying for and ultimately joining the regional football association Københavns Boldspil-Union (KBU) in 1920.[3] The list covers the club's periods of amateur, semi-professional, and professional football, including their involvement in the superstructure FC Amager.

In the first senior league season organised by the Amager Football Association, BK Fremad Amager finished second with six points, four points behind local rivals B 1908, who secured first place.[2] The club's first competitive league match was played at their home ground in April 1912 against B 1908 and ended in a 0–13 defeat.[2][4] The match formed part of the inaugural official regional football championship for the island of Amager.[2][4] Københavns Forstadsklubbers Boldspil Union organised a cup tournament involving the surrounding districts of Copenhagen, in which Fremad Amager participated as Amager's representative. Following the club's admission as an extraordinary member of the Københavns Boldspil-Union (KBU) in 1920, they became a full member the following year, in 1921. The club progressed from its initial regional third-tier level, Deltagerturneringen, to KBU's highest regional division, KBUs Mesterskabsrække, in 1926.[5] At the time, this league was regarded as the strongest regional football league in Denmark and featured several national team players.[5] Between 1920 and 1927, Fremad Amager competed exclusively in regional leagues and cup tournaments in Copenhagen and did not qualify for the national league championship play-offs, Landsfodboldturneringen.

Fremad Amager competed in the inaugural season of the nationwide league tournament, the 1927–28 Danmarksmesterskabsturneringen, organised under the auspices of the Danish Football Association (DBU). Since then, the club has primarily played within the top five tiers of the Danish football league system and has participed in the Danmarksturneringen i fodbold in all but two seasons. The club's most successful period occurred around the outbreak of the Second World War, when they finished as runners-up in the top-flight league on two occasions, in the 1939–40 and 1940–41 seasons. Fremad Amager made their debut in the KBUs Pokalturnering in the 1925 edition, and participated regularly in the regional cup until the 1953 edition, when the competition was replaced by the newly established nationwide cup, DBUs Landspokalturnering.[6] Overall, the club has competed in the Danish top-flight division for a total of 20 seasons and has reached the Danish Cup final on one occasion, which qualified the team for their only European tournament partake, the 1972–73 European Cup Winners' Cup.
