In the [[2019–20 Austrian Football Bundesliga|2019–20 season]], they qualified for European competition for the first time, earning a place in the [[2020–21 UEFA Europa League]] qualifiers.

==History==
[[File:Hartberg Performance Graph.png|280px|thumb|right|Historical chart of Hartberg league performance]]
TSV Hartberg was established on 29 April 1946. After decades in the lower [[Styria|Styrian]] leagues, the club achieved promotion to the [[Landesliga Steiermark|Styrian Landesliga]] in 1978, supported by sponsor Sparkasse Hartberg.

Throughout the 1980s, Hartberg gained a reputation as a strong cup competitor, often defeating higher-tier teams. In the [[1986–87 Austrian Cup]], the club reached the round of 16, notably eliminating [[Wiener Sport-Club]]. That team featured [[Hans Krankl]], one of Austria's most prominent footballers, a former [[European Golden Shoe]] winner and star of [[FC Barcelona|Barcelona]] and the [[Austria national football team|national team]]. In 1987–88, Hartberg won the Landesliga for the first time but failed to secure promotion after finishing second in the playoffs.

The club's most notable cup performance came in [[1988–89 Austrian Cup|1988–89]], reaching the Austrian Cup quarter-finals as a fourth-tier side. Victories included top-flight [[FC Kärnten|SK Austria Klagenfurt]] and second-tier [[SV Spittal/Drau]], before losing on penalties to [[SV Austria Salzburg (1933-2005)|SV Austria Salzburg]] after a 3–3 draw.

In 1989–90, Hartberg won the Landesliga again but was once more unsuccessful in the promotion playoffs. After several mid-table seasons, the club won the league a third time in 1994–95, earning promotion to the [[Austrian Regionalliga Central|Regionalliga Mitte]] (third tier). That same season, Hartberg reached the Austrian Cup semi-finals, defeating three higher-division clubs before a 1–0 loss to [[DSV Leoben]].

The following season, 1995–96, Hartberg won the Regionalliga Mitte and secured promotion to the [[2. Liga (Austria)|Second Division]] (then known as the ''2. Division''). However, the club was relegated in 1997–98 following a league restructuring, despite avoiding relegation under the existing format. In 1998–99, Hartberg again won the Regionalliga Mitte but failed to return to the second tier after losing a two-legged promotion playoff to [[WSG Tirol|WSG Wattens]].

In the 2005–06 season, the club captured its third Regionalliga Mitte title, earning promotion to the Second Division (at that time called the ''Erste Liga''). The club was relegated after a single season and returned to the Regionalliga Mitte for the 2007–08 campaign, where it finished seventh.

In 2008–09, Hartberg won the [[Austrian Regionalliga East|Regionalliga Ost]] title on the final matchday, securing promotion to the Austrian Second Division (then known as the ''First League''). In the 2010–11 season, the club finished last in the league but avoided relegation by winning the play-off. However, in 2014–15, after once again finishing in bottom place, Hartberg was relegated to the third tier.

TSV Hartberg were promoted to the [[2. Liga (Austria)|Second Division]] after winning the [[2016–17 Austrian Regional Leagues|2016–17 Regionalliga Mitte]]. As no clubs from the Regionalliga West or Ost applied for promotion, Hartberg advanced without the need for play-offs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.skysportaustria.at/bundesliga-at/lizenzierungsverfahren-201718-22-lizenzantraege-eingegangen/ |title=Lizensierungsverfahren 2017/18 – 22 Lizenzanträge eingegangen |date=16 March 2017 |publisher=Sky Sports Austria |language=de}}</ref> In the [[2017–18 Austrian Football First League|2017–18 Second Division]] season, Hartberg finished second and secured promotion to the [[Austrian Football Bundesliga|Austrian Bundesliga]] for the first time in the club's history.
