Their best seasons came in the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League, when they became the first Danish team to reach the round of 16 in the competition, and the 2023–24 Champions League, when they reached the last 16 for a second time. They also reached the quarter-finals of the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, the first time they had reached that stage of any UEFA competition.
