The club was formed in 1988 as Wealden Football Club. They joined the Sussex County League Division Three in 1998 and finished runners-up in 1999–2000, gaining promotion to Division Two. The club entered the FA Vase for the first time in 2006–07 and reached the first round.[1] In 2010, they were renamed A.F.C. Uckfield and went on to win Division Two in 2010–11, earning promotion to Division One.[2]

In July 2014, they merged with Uckfield Town to form A.F.C. Uckfield Town; the new club adopted Uckfield Town's black and red colours for their home kit and A.F.C. Uckfield's sky blue and navy blue as the away kit,[3] and played at the Oaks.
