On 1 July 2020, Belgian First Division A side Club Brugge announced that they would be rebranding their youth academy to Club NXT.[1] On 13 August 2020, it was announced that the club's reserve team would play in the Belgian First Division B, the second flight of Belgian football for the 2020–21 season.[2]
Club NXT played its first match in the second division on 22 August 2020 against RWDM47.[3] On 30 August 2020, Thomas Van den Keybus scored the club's first goal against Lommel in a 2–2 draw.[4] The following season, Club NXT changed grounds.
