The club was formally established on January 1, 2009, having spun off from Stockholmspolisens IF, where a basketball section had existed since 1975. It operates under the broader Hammarby IF alliance umbrella and is affiliated with the Swedish Basketball Federation.

The club's product offering is a unified youth-to-senior basketball program: approximately 50-60 youth teams spanning mini basketball (born 2018-2019) through U19, plus men's and women's senior teams competing in national league systems. Supporting programs include the international Lampe Challenge youth tournament (20th edition in 2026, 158 teams from 9 nations), the HBC residential summer basketball camp in Enk\u00f6ping (31 consecutive years, 200+ participants), free holiday training camps, the internal Bajen Ligan beginner league, and coach education programs. Membership stood at 1,422 active members in 2024, up from 854 in 2020, with approximately 300 spontaneous summer signups annually. The club employs over 70 coaches and is supported by 500+ volunteer functionaries.

Revenue is generated across five streams: annual membership and training fees tiered by age group (1,500-3,200 SEK training plus 300 SEK membership per season), season passes (600 SEK for free entry to all home games), HBC camp fees (3,950 SEK for Hammarby members, 4,350 SEK for others), merchandise sales via BasketShop.se, and sponsorship income led by ICA Kvantum Farsta and DM Milj\u00f6. Distribution is neighborhood-based across Farsta, H\u00f6kar\u00e4ngen, Gubb\u00e4ngen, Sk\u00f6ndal, Farsta Strand, Tallkrogen, and Fagersj\u00f6, with the primary home venue at Farstahallen 3 & 4 (Farsta IP).
