In August 2019, the club changed its name from the original HK agro Topoľčany to the Municipal Handball Club Topoľčany, due to the fact that the original sponsor Agrostav was no longer a handball sponsor and the city of Topoľčany had taken over the leading sponsor position. At the end of August 2019, club president Martin Miženko confirmed that the club would continue as HK agro Topoľčany in the 2019/2020 season, due to the financial demands on the club.
