Over the years, Jablonec has regularly competed in UEFA competitions, though typically in qualifying rounds, with occasional appearances in group stages.

In the modern era, FK Jablonec has become a competitive mid-to-upper table team in the Czech league, achieving its best league result with a second-place finish in the 2009–10 season. The club is known for developing strong attacking players, including top scorers like David Lafata, and continues to aim for European qualification. While it has not reached the same level as the country’s biggest clubs, Jablonec remains a respected and consistent force in Czech football.
