CSKA Sofia men's team have been champions of Bulgaria 12 times and Bulgarian cup winners 17 times. They played their home games at "CSKA" Hall in Sofia. In [[2006–07 FIBA EuroCup|2006–07]], they took part in the [[EuroChallenge|FIBA EuroCup]] tournament, which is the last participation of the club in European club tournaments

==History== The CSKA Basketball team took over the AC-23, a team which finished in the second place in the national championship in 1942. In 1946, BC "Chavdar" was formed and finished third in the championship.

Basketball is one of the sports that developed in CSKA right from the creation of the Club on 5 May 1948. This "September in CDV" practically takes the whole male and female teams of AS-23, which proves clearly the relationship between CSKA and the first "army" Club in Bulgaria. The new team continued with the composition and the asset of CDV in the current Championship. In the autumn of the same year second place was won, and in 1949 it won the first CDV and the first in its history title in basketball. It was followed by two more titles over the next two seasons, while men generally earned 12 titles and 17 cups in the country. The founders of the Club were Konstantin Totev, Iliya Angelov, Tonko Raynov, Lubomir Katerinski, etc. Later, on the team played Konstantin Kotsev, who after his career became an artist in the National Theatre. At the time still a soldier, Daniel recited excerpts from plays in front of his teammates and he is remembered as one of the most colourful personalities in the "red" Club.

The strongest periods of men's basketball at CSKA were the 1950s and mid-' 60s and ' 70s, when they earned most titles, and in Europe basketball teams such as CSKA (Moscow), AEK (Athens), Olympiakos (Piraeus) and Huventud (Badalona) have been defeated in the european tournaments.

Thus the basketball CSKA won recognition beyond the borders of Bulgaria as well. Reaching of a semifinal in the Cup Winners ' Cup in 1975 and the quarterfinals of the European Cup in 1966 and 1968 are achieved.

In total, for the period 1948-1974 basketball bands broadcast 26 masters of sports and many of them are national team players.

Among the most famous basketball players of CSKA are Dimitar Donev, Kliment Kamenarov, Konstantin Totev, Iliya Angelov, Tonko Raynov, Georgi Maleev, Tsvyatko Barchovski, Temelaki Dimitrov, Atanas Golomeev, Petko Marinov, Milko Arabadzhiiski, Rumen Peychev and others. In CSKA famous coaches like Lubomir Katerinski, Ilia Totev, Kosyo Totev, Tsvyatko Barchovski, Omurtag Kuzmanov and Petko Marinov have worked.

In the mid-80s, on the European scene the "army men" were still performing very well, but the real criteria for success, as they were before, is playing against the big teams in front of full halls of people, which in those times CSKA definitely plays in.

After the changes made on the 10th of November, 1989, the "army" basketball gradually fell into crisis and was on the way of vanishing. The military stopped taking part in developing the sport, which hits the club quite harshly. After 1992 the club cannot manage to win gold in the championship and only wins the "Cup of Bulgaria" in 2005.

During the 2006/2007 season Emil Koen and Vladimir Fedyaev take control over CSKA. They have the ambition to get the legendary team to get up on his feet. The women's team is also recovered, as the "Red angels" make the best season in their history.

In Bulgaria the "Red Angels" won a golden double. The highest achievement is the winning of the prestige "Adriatic league", which is one of the most competitive tournaments in Europe. After winning the golden double, Emil Koen died in 2007.

In the two years after 2007, various owners came and went and in the end the basketball team ended its competitive actions.

Only in 2012 a group of enthusiasts led by Alexander Chamakov and Robert Gergov began gradual attempts to reincarnate the red team. Because of the lack of enough financial resources, they started working solely on the youth academy, but the ambition was that there be a men's representative team starting from the 2016-2017 season. After several seasons in the second level, in 2022 CSKA won the second division (victory against Shumen II in the final) and from the 2022-23 season returned to the [[National Basketball League (Bulgaria)|NBL]].

After returning to the NBL, the coach of the team is the club legend and at the same time coach of the [[Bulgaria men's national basketball team|national team]] [[Rosen Barchovski]]. In the [[2022–23 BC CSKA Sofia season|2022-23 season]], CSKA reached the [[2023 Bulgarian Basketball Cup|Cup final]], where they lost to their eternal rival [[BC Levski Sofia|Levski]]. For CSKA, this is the first final since 2005. For the [[2022–23 National Basketball League (Bulgaria) season|championship]], the army team won the bronze medals, first ranking in the top 3 since 2007. For the first time in its history, CSKA has a second team competing in the second division of Bulgaria.
