In the 2012–13 French League season, after finishing in the eighth position of the regular season, Nanterre won its first top-tier national domestic title, and thus qualified to play in the European-wide top-tier level EuroLeague, in the 2013–14 season.

In the French League 2013–14 season, Nanterre didn't manage to reach the league's playoffs, after finishing 10th in the Pro A regular season.

In the French Leaders Cup, Nanterre also reached the Cup Final, but lost to Le Mans Sarthe Basket. Nanterre also made its debut in the EuroLeague that season.

To start the 2014–15 season, Nanterre won the Match des Champions (French Super Cup). On April 26, 2015, Nanterre won its first European-wide trophy. In the 2015, EuroChallenge Final, it beat Trabzsonspor, 63–64, on a buzzer-beater by T.J. Campbell.^[1]

In February 2016, the team's name was changed from JSF Nanterre, to Nanterre 92, with "92" representing the numeric code of the club's home department of Hauts-de-Seine.^[2]
