Chernomorets were founded as Sport Club Strela in late 1918 by English and Italian soldiers after World War I. The team finally became known as Chernomorets in 1957.

In its history, Chernomorets has played mainly in the Bulgarian amateur divisions. Until the 1976/77 season, the team participated at most in the third Bulgarian division but gained promotion to the B Group for the 1977/78 season. The next season was not so successful and the team was relegated back to the third division (The club finishing in 17th place in the group).

Chernomorets qualified for the second time in its history for the second division by finishing in 3rd place in North-Eastern V Group in the 2007–08 season. In this period, in the club worked as an assistant coach former famous football player Iliyan Kiryakov.

Chernomorets withdrew from B PFG in February 2011 due to suffering from finance debts.

Between 9 November 2014 and 27 March 2016, Chernomorets won 37 consecutive games in the third division. The club sent a letter to the Guinness Book of World Records as a jest for its achievement.[1]

In the 2015–16 season, the team finished first and won promotion to the B Group after five years of absence, but on 12 June 2016, they announced that would stay in the V Group and won't compete in the professional tier due to financial reasons.[2] Next season, Chernomorets finished first once more, but this time the team accepted participation in the Second League. Chernomorets managed to remain three seasons in the Second League, but the team was eventually plagued by financial problems in 2020 and was disqualified during the 2019–20 season and demoted back to the Third League. After three years in the third league, Chernomorets again managed to gain promotion to the second league for the 2023–24 season under head coach Martin Hristov losing only a single game and conceding only 13 goals having the best defence and attack in the league simultaneously.
