History
The origins of the club go back to the 19th century founding of a gymnastics club. The footballers first came to notice in the mid-90s with their advance to the Verbandsliga Württemberg (V) in 1995.
After twice finishing as vice-champions in the Verbandsliga and failing to win promotion to the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg (IV) in subsequent playoffs, TSG finally claimed the league title in 2008 and advanced to what has become a fifth tier competition following the introduction of the 3. Liga. They won the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg in 2018 to gain promotion to the Regionalliga Südwest.
A klubot 1890-ben alapították Turnverein Balingen néven. 1912-ben egyesült a Spielverein Balingennel. A klub 1945-ben egyesült az FC Balingennel, a helyi riválisával. A klub nevét 1953-ban Turn- und Sportgemeinschaft Balingenre változtatták.
A TSG Balingen legnagyobb sikere az volt, hogy 1992-ben bejutott az Oberligába, a német harmadosztályba. A klub 2012-ben kiesett az Oberligából, és azóta a Regionalligában játszik.
A TSG Balingen hazai mérkőzéseit a Bizerba Arena 1-ben játssza. A stadion 5000 fő befogadására alkalmas.
