They won the eastern title and gained promotion to the 2009–10 Second Division. In the 2010–11 season they finished at 10th and bottom position but survived by winning the relegation play-off, and in the 2014–15 season they were relegated to the third division for finishing at the same bottom position.

TSV Hartberg were promoted to Second Division after winning the 2016–17 Regionalliga Mitte without having to compete in promotion play-offs as no team from the Regionalliga West or Ost applied for promotion. In the 2017–18 Second Division season, TSV Hartberg finished second to be promoted to the Austrian Bundesliga for the first time in their history, following an appeal to be granted a "license to play" in First Division.
