Its only season in the English top division was 1962-63, after achieving promotion in the second division in 1961-62. The club finished that championship in last place and was relegated. Orient was champion of the Third Division South in 1955-56 and the Third Division in 1969-70. It also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 1977-78, when it was eliminated by Arsenal. More recently, it won the League Two title in the 2022-23 season and returned to the third division of English football.
