The team is based in Beijing and their home stadium is the Olympic Sports Centre (Beijing) that has a seating capacity of 36,228.

Beijing Enterprises Group F.C. was founded as Beijing Baxy F.C. in 2004 by former Chinese footballers Guo Weiwei, Wang Tao and Guo Weijian as an amateur football club. By 2009 the club's youth team were considered good enough to take part in professional football and the club entered the third tier of Chinese football at the beginning of the 2009 China League Two season. Within their first professional campaign Wang Tao was their Chairman who brought in Cao Xiandong to manage the team. The players wore white tops, black bottoms, white socks for the home kits and blue tops, white bottoms, dark blue socks for their away kit. After a promising start to the campaign that saw them lead the table within the group stage the club ultimately finished third in the play-off and just missed out of promotion to the second division. After failure to win promotion from the previous season the club decided to take over financially struggling China League One side Beijing Hongdeng and took over their position within the league at the beginning of the 2010 league season. In Beijing Baxy's first season in the second tier, they were given a 6-point deduction due to Beijing Hongdeng's late payment of wages for Rajko Vidović in the 2007 season.
