The club debuted in Primera División in 1978, playing the Nacional championship. In December 2015, Patronato achieved its second promotion to Primera after defeating Santamarina de Tandil by penalty shoot-out. Patronato was relegated to the Primera Nacional in 2022, despite winning the 2021-22 Copa Argentina and qualifying for the Copa Libertadores group stage that same year.
On April 5, 2023, Patronato made their debut in the Copa Libertadores, losing by a scoreline of 2-1 against Atlético Nacional. A little less than a month later, on May 4, 2023, Patronato won their first ever Libertadores match, winning comfortably at home against Melgar 4-1. They ended their Libertadores campaign with 2 wins and 4 losses, but finished 3rd in their group, qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana play-off round, where they lost to Botafogo by 3-1 on aggregate.
The clubs with which it has a classic sporting rivalry are the Club Atlético Paraná, from the same city, with which they make up the "Paraná derby" and the Club Gimnasia y Esgrima from the city of Concepción del Uruguay, with which they make up the "Entre Ríos derby".
