The team currently plays in LEB Oro.

==History== The club started in 2013 as the successor of CB Atapuerca, dissolved after failing to promote to Liga ACB, due to not fulfilling all the requirements.<ref>[http://www.diariodeburgos.es/noticia/Z24F4C6CE-ED2E-A6E9-0A9ECE6EF84AB737/20130806/tizona/vuelve/competir El Tizona vuelve a competir] Diario de Burgos, 6 August 2013</ref>

The name is a homage to former ''CB Espada Tizona'', the main club in Burgos during the 1970s and the 1980s, and was created as a Sociedad Anónima Deportiva with the aim to make easier a future promotion to ACB,<ref>[http://cbtizona.es/historia History of CB Tizona] Official website</ref> goal achieved in its first season. Named '''Ford Burgos''' like its predecessor, the club promoted to Liga ACB in the 2013–14 season and did not fulfill all the necessary requirements to enter in the top flight, joining again the LEB Oro league.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140630052504/http://www.acb.com/redaccion.php?id=104567 Comunicado oficial sobre la inscripción del Club Baloncesto Tizona SAD]; ACB.com, 16 June 2014</ref>

In its second season, Tizona promoted again to Liga ACB, this time as LEB Oro champion, after winning its last 13 games in a row.<ref>[http://www.diariodeburgos.es/noticia/Z7871078B-0193-8AC7-C0720C00A93136D6/20150411/autocid/record Autocid de récord]; Diario de Burgos, 11 April 2015 {{in lang|es}}</ref> Despite it was the third time in a row Burgos had a team which promoted to the top league, it could not fulfill the requirements to join it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.acb.com/redaccion.php?id=114054|title=Comunicado oficial sobre la no inscripción del Club Baloncesto Tizona SAD|language=Spanish|date=15 June 2015|publisher=ACB.com|access-date=15 June 2015|archive-date=18 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150618092241/http://www.acb.com/redaccion.php?id=114054|url-status=dead}}</ref>

After failing in its second attempt, the club sued the ACB for not admitting it in the league and decided not entering any competition with the professional LEB Oro team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.burgosdeporte.com/noticia.php?noticia=62790|publisher=Burgos Deporte|date=23 June 2015|language=Spanish|title=Sin ACB la directiva del Tizona anuncia su marcha}}</ref> and continued its activity with the youth teams. The team that acted as reserve teams in the previous seasons, became the main senior team and played in Primera División. Tizona also changed its traditional blue uniform to a red-and-white one for the 2015–16 season,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.elcorreodeburgos.com/noticias/deportes/ubu-esquiva-presion_111773.html|date=20 November 2015|publisher=El Correo de Burgos|language=Spanish|accessdate=15 February 2016|title=El UBU esquiva la presión}}</ref> but came back to the blue in the next one for playing in Liga EBA, after its promotion as champions of the Regional group of Primera División.

In July 2017, thanks to the denounce of CB Tizona, local team San Pablo Burgos and Gipuzkoa Basket could promote to Liga ACB.

On 18 May 2019, Tizona came back to professional basketball by achieving promotion to LEB Plata, after winning one of the four groups of the final stage. Just one season later, the club came back to LEB Oro five years later, after the 2019–20 LEB Plata season was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Tizona was qualified in the third position when the league was suspended.
