Brentford Football Club is an English professional football club based in Brentford, Hounslow, London. Between 1892 and 1920, the first team competed in the West London Alliance, West London League, London League, Southern League and Western League.^[2] Since 1920, the first team has competed in the Football League and other nationally and internationally organised competitions.^[2]^[3]

Statistically Brentford's best league season was 1929–30 in the Third Division South, earning 2.12 points a game and winning all 21 home matches,^[4] a national record which still stands as of January 2018.^[5] The 1932–33 and 1934–35 Third Division South and Second Division title-winning seasons yielded 2.10 and 2.07 points per game respectively, while the 94 points accumulated during the 2013–14 runners-up finish in League One is Brentford's record points total.^[4]

Brentford has never won a major cup, with the club's furthest advancement being the quarter-finals of the FA Cup (1937–38, 1945–46, 1948–49, 1988–89) and the fourth round of the League Cup (1982–83, 2010–11).^[2] The club has reached three Football League Trophy finals (1985, 2001, 2011) and finished as runners-up on each occasion.^[2]
