As of the 2019–20 season, Locarno play in the Swiss sixth level, [[2. Liga (Switzerland)|2. Liga]].
==History==
The club, founded in 1906, spent most of its history in lower levels, but also had several spells in the [[Swiss Super League|top Swiss level]] ( in 1930–31, 1933–36, 1945–53 and 1986–87).
In 2018, the club filed for bankruptcy and entered [[Administration (law)|administration]]. This resulted in an automatic relegation to [[Swiss football league system|the ninth level of Swiss football]]. A local veterinarian, Mauro Cavalli, bought the club and led it to four straight promotions.
In 2023, Cavalli sold FC Locarno to North Sixth Group, which specializes in purchasing and developing lower-tier clubs around the world.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Greenberg |first1=Doug |title=Investors Dive Into Soccer's Lower Tiers, Eye Untapped Market Potential |url=https://frontofficesports.com/new-ownership-group-soccer-lowest-tiers-club-underdog/ |website=Front Office Sports |access-date=17 January 2024 |date=2 November 2023}}</ref>
