{{main|History of CD Leganés}}

The club was officially founded on 23 June 1928.{{Cite web|url=https://as.com/futbol/2021/06/23/segunda/1624462021_272742.html|website=as.com|date=23 June 2021|title=El Leganés cumple 93 años apoyado en cinco pilares para crecer|first=J.|last=Martín|access-date=6 June 2022|archive-date=6 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220606203150/https://as.com/futbol/2021/06/23/segunda/1624462021_272742.html|url-status=live}} Its first president was Ramón del Hierro. However the club had to suspend operations in 1936 due to the Spanish civil war, where they remained inactive until they reformed on 4 September 1946.

Leganés played the vast majority of its existence in the lower leagues. In 1977 the club regained promotion to the fourth division, where it had played before for seven years when the category was still the third level.

After a steady progression, Leganés reached the new division three in 1987, being promoted to the second division six years later and maintaining its league status for 11 seasons; during this timeframe, it collected two consecutive eighth places (best) from 1995 to 1997.

On 24 December 2008, Victoria Pavón and Felipe Moreno acquired a majority stake of the club.{{Cite web|url=https://www.marca.com/futbol/leganes/2019/12/24/5e01e217268e3e565e8b45ad.html|website=Marca|title=Once años de la llegada de 'Papa Noel' a Leganés|first=Javier|last=Carrasco|date=24 December 2019|access-date=6 June 2022|archive-date=6 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220606204431/https://www.marca.com/futbol/leganes/2019/12/24/5e01e217268e3e565e8b45ad.html|url-status=live}} Since July 2009, Victoria Pavón has been the president of the club.{{Cite web|url=https://www.europapress.es/deportes/futbol-00162/noticia-futbol-leganes-presenta-nueva-presidenta-tecnico-luis-angel-duque-20090713220847.html|website=Europa Press|date=13 July 2009|title=Fútbol.- El Leganés presenta a su nueva presidenta y al técnico Luis Ángel Duque|access-date=6 June 2022|archive-date=6 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220606204431/https://www.europapress.es/deportes/futbol-00162/noticia-futbol-leganes-presenta-nueva-presidenta-tecnico-luis-angel-duque-20090713220847.html|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.lavanguardia.com/deportes/futbol/20220308/8106005/victoria-pavon-machista-antipopular-intentan-delatarse.html|website=La Vanguardia|title=Victoria Pavón: "13 años después ya no es noticia que yo sea presidenta"|date=8 March 2022|first=Anaïs|last=Martí|access-date=6 June 2022|archive-date=6 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220606204431/https://www.lavanguardia.com/deportes/futbol/20220308/8106005/victoria-pavon-machista-antipopular-intentan-delatarse.html|url-status=live}}

In the 2015–16 season, for the first time in their history, Leganés earned promotion to La Liga, which was sealed on 4 June 2016 with a 1–0 away win against CD Mirandés,{{cite news |last1=Plaza |first1=Víctor |title=El Leganés hace historia y asciende a Primera división |url=https://www.marca.com/futbol/segunda-division/2016/06/04/57533192e2704efa5b8b45f0.html |access-date=21 July 2020 |work=Marca |date=4 June 2016 |language=es |archive-date=15 June 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200615040502/https://www.marca.com/futbol/segunda-division/2016/06/04/57533192e2704efa5b8b45f0.html |url-status=live }} thus becoming the fifth team from Community of Madrid ever to play in La Liga, after Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Rayo Vallecano and Getafe.

The fans have friendly relation with ultras group Gate 12 of Egaleo FC, the towns of Egaleo and Leganés happen to be twinned too. They also have friendly ties with Reading F.C. of England, partially due to sharing their blue and white colours. Their biggest rival is Getafe with whom they contest the South Madrid derby.
