Uthai Thani Football Club (th|สโมสรฟุตบอลจังหวัดอุทัยธานี) is a Thai professional association football club based in Uthai Thani province. The club currently plays in the Thai League 1.
Uthai Thani Football Club was rebranded at the end of the 2019 season, following Air Force United's owner's decision to change the club's name and relocate to Uthai Thani.[1] [2] Uthai Thani then started off their debut season as a rebranded team in the 2020–21 season, however, the club then sees themselves relegated to the Thai League 3 sitting in 17th place in the league.
In the 2020–21 season, Uthai Thani bounced back after their inaugural seasons by winning the 2021–22 Thai League 3 Northern Region and also winning the 2021–22 Thai League 3 title after defeating Krabi 3–1 in the final thus gaining promotion back to the second division.
In the 2022–23 season, Uthai Thani finished in third place where they qualified for the promotion play-offs whereby Brazilian player Ricardo Santos scored 30 league goals in two consecutive season. Uthai Thani then faced off against Suphanburi in the semi-finals where they won 5–4 on aggregate thus advancing to the final. In the final, Uthai Thani met Customs United where Uthai Thani came out victorious in a 5–2 aggregate won. This win sees Uthai Thani qualified to the top flight for the first time as a rebranded team history.
Uthai Thani then started off their top flight campaign in the 2023–24 Thai League 1 where they finished in 7th place.
The club changed its logo in 2020 due to the renaming from Air Force United.
