The club competed in the Ukrainian Basketball SuperLeague (UBSL).
Established in 1992, Odesa played in the SuperLeague for most of its existence until it disappeared in 2016. In 2018, the club was re-founded when it merged with BC Dynamo Odesa. ==History== BC Odesa was one of the most distinguished basketball clubs in the country and has won the UBSL championship 4 times. It was founded in 1992 under the name '''BIPA-Moda''' after its sponsor company. Following the death of its 1st president Arkadiy Tabachnyk in 1999, the club became municipal and, hence, changed its name to '''MBC Odesa'''. In 2006, the club turned private again after its purchase by the current president Oleh Bychkov, and its name was changed to the present '''BC Odesa'''. After the 2015–16 season, the club disappeared. However, another club '''BIPA Odesa''' played in the SuperLeague the following years.
In the summer of 2018, '''BC Dynamo Odesa''', winner of the second-tier division, was renamed and merged to '''BC Odesa'''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://fbu.ua/news/basketbolniy-klub-dinamo-odesa-zminiv-nazvu|title = Баскетбольний клуб Динамо-Одеса змінив назву}}</ref> Previously, '''BIPA Odesa''' was merged to '''BC Dynamo Odesa''' in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web|title=БІПА та Динамо-Одеса об'єдналися в одну організацію|url=https://fbu.ua/news/u-odesi-sformovano-novu-basketbolnu-strukturu|access-date=2020-11-26|website=fbu.ua|language=uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Павло Вугельман: Одеса отримає нову головну спортивну арену|url=https://fbu.ua/news/pavlo-vugelman-odesa-otrima-novu-golovnu-sportivnu-arenu|access-date=2020-11-26|website=fbu.ua|language=uk}}</ref>
