History.
1927 – 2009.
United SC was originally established in 1927 as Eveready Association Club. In 2006, it was renamed as United Sports Club to attract a title sponsor and the football division owned by United Sport Football Team Private Ltd. With the inflow of sponsorship, the club clinched promotion to the first division of the I-League in 2007. Previously the club has competed in the National Football League (India) before joining the newly formed I-League.
2010 – present.
For the 2010–11 I-League season United SC played at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. On Indian Transfer deadline day United SC made headline news by signing India national football team striker Sunil Chhetri until the end of the season. On 3 April 2011, Chhetri scored his first goal for Chirag United against Dempo, however, Dempo won the match 4–2. Chhetri then scored a brace on 29 April 2011 against ONGC to help salvage a 2–2 draw for Chirag. In June 2011 after the I-League season ended, old sponsors Chirag chose to cut ties with United SC and thus Chirag United SC became Prayag United Sports Club. Even though the team has lost a lot in terms of sponsorship money the club is still able to sign and retain their current players. 
On 3 August 2011 it was announced that United Sports Club had signed a sponsorship deal with "Prayag Group" and on 7 August 2011 United Sports Club officially changed their name to Prayag United S.C.
The association, however was cancelled in the summer of the 2013, when the company found itself involved in the chit-fund scam. The name was again changed to United Sports Club.
In November 2012, Dutchman Eelco Schattorie was appointed as the manager of the club and they achieved fourth place on the 2012–13 I-League table with 44 points.
In 2013, the club won their maiden IFA Shield title by defeating East Bengal FC in the final by 1–0 margin. In that competition (Semi-finals), they also defeated a foreign side Deportivo Saprissa of Costa Rica.

The club crest is designed in the shape of a blue and white circle. The logo includes the words United Sports Club in the blue strip of the crest. This is to show United Sports Club as the main name of the club. Inside the crest is a peacock on top of a football.
