Brisbane Roar Football Club is a professional soccer club based in Brisbane, Queensland. competing in Australia's premier men's competition, A-League Men, which is the top tier Australia's football pyramid.

When Queensland Lions F.C. were the only Queensland bidder for the new A League competition following the Crawford Report and the new FFA under Frank Lowy, Lions withdrew their men's team from the State Competition and entered it in to the A League.

Initially competed under the name Queensland Roar before rebranding in 2009 to Brisbane Roar. The Roar has a rich history in the A-League, having won two Premierships and three Championships, while also holding the record for the longest unbeaten streak in the league's history, at 36 matches.

The team's core colour is orange, reflecting its Dutch heritage, and this has evolved over time. For the 2024–25 season, to mark the 20th anniversary of the A-League, Brisbane Roar announced a return to their original orange and blue colours.

The club plays its home games at Lang Park in Milton, although they have used various other venues throughout their history, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Owned by the Bakrie Group since 2011, Brisbane Roar has a strong fan base, including two main supporter groups: "The Den" and the "Roar Supporters Federation". Despite lacking a formal club anthem, Brisbane Roar maintains one of the highest average attendances in the A-League, underscoring its significant presence in Australian soccer.

Brisbane Roar has won the domestic title on three occasions and holds the longest unbeaten record of 36 league matches without defeat.

The club has a shared history with Queensland Lions FC, which competed in the inaugural A-League season as Queensland Roar.
