History

In 2018, Prometey joined the Ukrainian Higher League, the national second tier, and won the league title at the first attempt. Therefore, it was promoted to the SuperLeague for the 2019–20 season.[2] In its first season, Prometey was in third place before the season was shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The following season, the club enrolled for the FIBA Europe Cup and made their European debut.

In 2021, Prometey won its first Ukrainian SuperLeague championship.[3] The following season, Prometey made its debut at the European stage when it played in the Qualifying Rounds of the 2021–22 Basketball Champions League. In its debut season, it immediately qualified for the regular season and then advanced to the round of 16. Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Prometey withdrew from the competition and dissolved the club as club president Volodymyr Dubinsky cited: "All money and resources should go to the army. Win first. Then everything.".[4]
