In 1988 Mildenhall joined the Eastern Counties League as founder members of the new Division One. The club won the Cambridgeshire Invitation Cup in 1995–96, beating Foxton 3–0 in the final. They were Division One runners-up in 1998–99, earning promotion to the Premier Division. In 2006–07 the club were runners-up in the Premier Division. They won the Cambridgeshire Invitation Cup for a second time in 2009–10, beating Wisbech Town in the final, and went on to retain the trophy the following season with a 2–0 win against Haverhill Rovers.

The 2016–17 season saw Mildenhall win the Eastern Counties League Premier Division title, resulting in promotion to Division One North of the Isthmian League. They finished bottom of the division in 2018–19 and were relegated back to the Premier Division of the Eastern Counties League. In 2023–24 the club were Premier Division champions, earning promotion to the Isthmian League's North Division.

Ground

After playing at several grounds, the club moved to its current ground on Recreation Way following World War II, initially sharing with the cricket club. The site had been gifted to the town by the Bunhill family during the war. In 1970 the cricket club left and the football pitch was rotated 90º. Following promotion to the Eastern Counties League, a 250-capacity standing covered area was erected in 1989 and a clubhouse was built in 1991.
