History

Established in 1960,[1] the team has history that stems back to the 1940s.[2] Prior to a city name change, the team was known as Uralmash Sverdlovsk. FIBA Hall of Fame member Sergei Belov played for Uralmash in the 1960s,[3] as did several other members of the senior men's Soviet Union national team over the years, such as: Nikolai Kraev, Lev Reshetnikov, Aleksandr Kandel, Viacheslav Novikov, Ivan Dvorny, Anatoly Myshkin, and Stanislav Yeryomin.[2]

After winning the Super League 3 championship in 2016–17, Uralmash was promoted to the Super League 2 for the 2017–18 season where they finished third. They were promoted to the Super League 1 for the 2018–19 season. The team finished second in the Super League 1 in 2020–21 and then won back-to-back championships in 2021–22 and 2022–23.[4][5] Evgeniy Pashutin was the team's head coach during the 2021–22 season.[6]

In May 2023, Uralmash was promoted to the VTB United League.[7]
