The club competes in Liga Portugal Betclic, the top tier of Portuguese football, and plays its home matches at the Estádio Municipal de Vila Nova de Famalicão. It fields a men's first team plus a multi-tier youth academy (U23, U19, U17, U16), a women's football section, a men's futsal team, and an esports roster, reflecting a broad sporting portfolio under a single institutional brand.

The club's commercial operations span merchandise (kits, training wear, apparel, accessories, and collectibles priced from €8 to €65), ticketing through the Smartfan.tickets platform, a tiered Sócio membership program (€3.50–€7 per month plus a €5 card fee), and an annual Lugar Anual season ticket at €120 that includes a 10% merchandise discount.

The club also operates insurance products under the FC Famalicão Seguros brand through a partnership with SABSEG.

The sponsorship portfolio is anchored by Placard as main shirt sponsor and Puma as technical apparel partner, supplemented by premium partners including Hyundai, Mercainnoxx, Monchique, Chanceplus, JMF, Enif, Porminho, and Trofasaude. Community-facing sub-brands include Fama Dream for youth development, FCF Solidário for social responsibility, and O Fama nas Escolas for school outreach, while ESG-adjacent infrastructure such as a Plano de Prevenção de Riscos e de Corrupção is published on the club's society governance pages. The ownership base is described as the SAD shareholder structure plus the Sócio member collective; no external parent company or venture funding is identified.
