In the 1953 season, Stal won the Klasa A (4th level).[6] For the first time footballers from Stalowa Wola were promoted to II liga (2nd level) in 1973, under the leadership of Jerzy Kopa.[5] Stal players played in the second league until 1987, when they won promotion to Ekstraklasa in the play-offs against Górnik Knurów.[5] Stal Stalowa Wola played in Ekstraklasa in the following seasons: 1987–88, 1991–92, 1993–94 and 1994–95.

The 2019–20 II liga season began severely for the Subcarpathian team – they had one point in the initial five matches. After the loss to Błękitni Stargard (0–1), the coach Paweł Wtorek resigned. He was replaced by Szymon Szydełko,[10] who was unable to turn around the club's fortunes. Stalówka finished the season in 15th, thus becoming relegated to III liga.[11] Szydełko stayed at the club, beginning another season with a victory in the Polish Cup over the II liga side Skra Częstochowa (3–1 win).[12] On October 31, 2020, after the 0–3 loss to Wisła Puławy, Szymon Szydełko was released from his contract (at the time of his release, Stal was sixth, 18 points behind to first place).[13] On November 4, 2020, Jaromir Wieprzęć was announced as his successor.[14] They were not able to win the promotion back the following season, finding themselves remaining in the fourth-tier III liga.
