The 2013 Gamba Osaka season saw Gamba Osaka compete in J. League Division 2 following their shock relegation the previous year. As such they did not compete in the 2013 J. League Cup, but did participate in the 2013 Emperor's Cup in addition to their 2013 J. League Division 2 fixtures.
Maintaining the bulk of the previous season's squad including Japanese internationals, captain Endō and defenders Akira Kaji and Yasuyuki Konno, Gamba were able to make their stay in J. League 2 a short one and were crowned champions in November 2013 following a season long title race with neighbours Vissel Kobe who had also been relegated along with Gamba the previous year.
Takashi Usami returned to the club in mid-season following a loan-spell in Germany and his goals as well as those from Brazilians Leandro and Adi Rocha saw Gamba finish the season with 87 points and 99 goals to their credit.

The 2016 Gamba Osaka season was Gamba Osaka's 23rd season in the J1 League and 29th overall in the Japanese top flight. Like the previous season, the 2016 campaign was split into two stages, with the first stage running from February to June, the second stage being held between July and November and finally a Championship stage in late November. With city-rivals Cerezo Osaka failing to gain promotion from J2, Gamba's main rivalry match was the Hanshin derby against Vissel Kobe with an away game held in round 4 on the 19th March and the return home match in round 26 on August 20. Gamba finished in 6th place in the first stage of the season and 4th place in the second stage for an overall 4th-place finish.
The 2014 Gamba Osaka season was Gamba Osaka's 21st season in the J.League Division 1 and 27th overall in the Japanese top flight. It also included the 2014 J.League Cup and 2014 Emperor's Cup. The season was one of unparalleled success as it saw them win the treble with an incredible comeback in the second half of the league season which saw them crowned J.League champions following a 0–0 draw away to Tokushima Vortis in December. In addition they added both the J.League Cup and the Emperor's Cup to their trophy cabinet. The feat was made all the more incredible by the fact that Gamba were only promoted back to J.League 1 at the beginning of 2014 following a one-season spell in the Japanese second division.
The 2017 Gamba Osaka season was Gamba Osaka's 24th season in the J1 League and 30th overall in the Japanese top flight. It saw them compete in the 18 team J1 League which had reverted to a single stage format of 34 games where each team played the other 17 participants home and away after an unsuccessful trial of a first stage and second stage being followed by a championship playoff series. City rivals, Cerezo Osaka were promoted from J2 at the end of 2016 meaning that the two sides played derby matches for the first time since 2014 and with neighbouring Vissel Kobe also participating in J1, Gamba had 4 league derbies to look forward to throughout the season.
The 2018 Gamba Osaka season was Gamba Osaka's 25th season in the J1 League and 31st overall in the Japanese top flight. It saw them compete in the 18 team J1 League as well as the J.League Cup and Emperor's Cup competitions.
