1911 FA Cup]]—the only major honour to be won by the club

Bradford City Association Football Club were formed in 1903 and were elected into the Second Division before they had even played a game. Bradford City and Chelsea, in 1905, remain the only teams to be elected into the league before playing a competitive fixture.{{cite book |access-date=4 December 2007 |archive-date=17 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191217221457/http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/search/display.var.1612976.0.leader_on_the_pitch_and_the_battlefield.php |url-status=live
