The club, then known as Red Bull Brasil, started playing in 2008. In 2009, they won the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão. This was the fourth level of the São Paulo state football championship. The team earned another promotion in 2010. They won the Campeonato Paulista Série A3 that year. Also in 2010, the team reached the final of the Copa Paulista. This is a state cup tournament in São Paulo.

The 2011 season was not as successful for the team. They finished fifth in their league group. This meant they did not move on to the next stage. However, 2012 was a better year. The club finished third in the regular season of the Campeonato Paulista Série A2. They were later knocked out in the semi-finals.

In 2014, the team finished second in the Campeonato Paulista Série A2. This earned them a promotion to the top state league, the Campeonato Paulista Série A1. In 2015, the team reached the quarter-finals of the Campeonato Paulista. They lost to São Paulo in that match. Because they finished sixth, the team qualified for the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D. This is a national league, but they did not make it to the playoffs.

In 2016, the team again reached the quarter-finals of the Campeonato Paulista Série A1. They lost to Corinthians. The team also played in the Copa do Brasil. This is a national cup competition. They were eliminated in the first round by América Mineiro.

On March 26, 2019, Bragantino announced a partnership with Red Bull Brasil. This was a big step for both clubs. On January 16, 2023, Red Bull Brasil officially changed its name to Red Bull Bragantino II. It became the B team, or reserve team, for Red Bull Bragantino.

On November 6, 2024, the club announced it was leaving the São Paulo Football Federation competitions. They explained that it was difficult to transfer players between the reserve team and the main team.
