Fútbol Club Levante Badalona (Catalan: Llevant Badalona) is a Spanish professional women's football club based in Badalona, Barcelona. It competes in the Liga F, the top tier of Spanish women's football, playing home matches at the Estadi Municipal de Badalona [es; ca].

History

Levante Las Planas was founded in 1983 in Las Planas district as a merge of local teams UP Bética and Rayo Planense. The club is best known for its women's team, established in 1998. On the other hand, the male team plays in 7th-tier Tercera Catalana.

In 2012 Levante Las Planas was promoted to the Primera División for the first time after topping its Segunda División group and beating Fundación Albacete and UD Tacuense in the play-offs. In its debut season the team ended in the lower half of the table with a comfortable 16 points margin over relegation positions.

The club was promoted to the top division again on the final matchday of the 2021–22 season, beating direct rivals Espanyol (a fellow Catalan club and six-time Spanish champions) by a 3–0 scoreline.
