On 16 June 2020, German club Borussia Dortmund struck a partnership deal with the club for grassroots development. Hyderabad play their home matches at the G.M.C Balayogi Athletic Stadium in the Hyderabad suburb of Gachibowli. The stadium has a capacity of about 18,000 for matches.
Hyderabad played their inaugural match on 25 October 2019, suffering a 0–5 defeat to ATK. The club completed their first season in the Indian Super League in 10th place, failing to qualify for the playoffs. The club won their first ever cup title in the 2021–22 ISL by defeating Kerala Blasters 3–1 penalties in the final.
On 26 August 2019, it was reported by the Hindustan Times that Pune City had disbanded and that former Kerala Blasters CEO Varun Tripuraneni had bought a majority stake in the club. Neither then Pune City CEO Gaurav Modwel or Tripuraneni confirmed the reports. However, the next day, on 27 August 2019, it was announced that Hyderabad would replace Pune City for the 2019–20 season, with Tripuraneni and businessman Vijay Madduri buying the ownership rights to the team. The club's branding and first kits were then revealed prior to their first season on 29 September 2019.
The club played their first ever match on 25 October 2019 against ATK at the Salt Lake Stadium. They were defeated 0–5 in a match which Brown described as "not our usual standards". Hyderabad then succumbed to defeat again in their second match against Jamshedpur FC. Marcelinho scored the first goal for the club's history but could not prevent his side's 1–3 defeat. The club finally earned their first victory in their third match on 2 November 2019 against the Kerala Blasters. This was also Hyderabad's first home match. Goals from Marko Stanković and Marcelinho helped Hyderabad to a 2–1 victory.
On 11 January 2020, with the club in last place in the table, with just one victory and two draws from 12 matches, Brown and the club decided to part ways. Former India international Mehrajuddin Wadoo took over as caretaker for one match before assistant coach Xavier Gurri López became interim coach for the rest of the season. The club finished their season with a 5–1 victory over NorthEast United on 20 February 2020. Overall, the club finished the season in last place and failed to qualify for the ISL playoffs.
Hyderabad FC began their second competitive season on 23 November with a win against Odisha FC. After struggling early in the season, the team made a decent comeback, as they had an unbeaten run which lasted for 12 matches. They managed to get 29 points from 20 games, which includes six wins, three losses and eleven draws. Their last game against FC Goa became crucial for them as they needed a win to qualify into the playoffs. After having a goalless draw against Goa, Hyderabad narrowly missed the play-offs as they finished 5th in the league table.
Hyderabad FC goalkeeper Laxmikant Kattimani saved four penalties in the shootout, including one that was retaken after being saved initially.
The club also confirmed the departures of Odei Onaindia, Borja Herrera, Akash Mishra, Joel Chianese, Halicharan Narzary and Javier Siverio. Afterwards, Jonathan Moya, Joe Knowles, Petteri Pennanen and Felipe Amorim became the high profile incomings.

They beat Tribhuvan Army 3–0, lost to Chennaiyin 1-3 and drew with Delhi FC 1-1 in their campaign. They finished 5th out of the six 2nd placed teams and hence, couldn't qualify for the knockout stage.
