On 15 August 2015, Brandt scored the winning goal after appearing as a substitute in a 2–1 victory against 1899 Hoffenheim in Bayer's opening match of the 2015–16 Bundesliga season. Between 20 March and 30 April 2016, he scored in six consecutive Bundesliga matches, becoming the youngest player since Gerd Müller to achieve this by scoring 72 seconds into a 2–1 home win over Hertha BSC.{{Cite news|url=http://www.dw.com/en/bundesliga-julian-brandt-looks-towards-euro-2016-as-leverkusen-beat-hertha-berlin/a-19227223|title=Bundesliga: Julian Brandt looks towards Euro 2016 as Leverkusen beat Hertha Berlin|date=1 May 2016|work=Deutsche Welle}} On 7 December 2016, he scored his first Champions League goal in a 3–0 victory over Monaco.{{cite web |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/match/2019370--leverkusen-vs-monaco/ |title=Leverkusen 3–0 Monaco |publisher=UEFA |date=7 December 2016 }}
On 26 August 2017, Brandt became the youngest-ever Leverkusen player to reach 100 Bundesliga appearances, doing so at the age 21 years, three months and 25 days during a 2–2 draw against Hoffenheim.{{cite news|url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/julian-brandt-10-things-on-borussia-dortmund-s-germany-star-4749|title=Julian Brandt: 10 things on Borussia Dortmund's Germany star|publisher=Bundesliga|date=23 May 2019|access-date=26 May 2019}}
During the second half of the 2018–19 Bundesliga campaign, Brandt was re-positioned by new club manager Peter Bosz, shifting from his natural wide position to a more central role in midfield alongside Kai Havertz.{{cite news|url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/julian-brandt-in-form-for-bayer-leverkusen-kai-havertz-peter-bosz-3285-2264|title=A new brand of Julian Brandt: Bayer Leverkusen's new central midfield dynamo|publisher=Bundesliga|date=29 March 2019|access-date=29 March 2019}} His goal contribution increased as a result of the positional change and in February 2019, after scoring twice and assisting a further four goals, he was nominated for the Player of the Month award.{{cite news|url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/player-of-the-month-2018-19-ea-sports-fifa-19-2583-803|title=Vote for your February Player of the Month now!|publisher=Bundesliga|date=15 March 2019|access-date=15 March 2019}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/bravertz-julian-brandt-kai-havertz-bayer-leverkusen-s-german-midfield-core-3039|title=Bravertz: Julian Brandt and Kai Havertz forming Bayer Leverkusen's German midfield core|publisher=Bundesliga|date=15 March 2019|access-date=15 March 2019}} He ultimately won the award and in doing so became the first Leverkusen player to claim the accolade.{{cite news|url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/player-of-the-month-2018-19-ea-sports-fifa-19-2583-803|title=Julian Brandt named Bundesliga's February Player of the Month|publisher=Bundesliga|date=15 March 2019|access-date=16 March 2019}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/julian-brandt-player-of-the-month-bayer-leverkusen-kai-havertz-3058|title=Julian Brandt on February Player of the Month award: "I'll rub Kai Havertz's nose in it"|publisher=Bundesliga|date=16 March 2019|access-date=16 March 2019}} His brace against Mainz 05 at the start of the month also came on the occasion of his 200th appearance for the club across all competitions.
=Borussia Dortmund=
Brandt was Dortmund's transfer target after the 23-year-old scored seven league goals, provided eleven assists and subsequently helped Leverkusen to finish fourth in Bundesliga and secure a Champions League third qualifying round spot for next season.{{Cite web|url=https://www.90min.com/posts/6374041-borussia-dortmund-officially-confirm-signing-of-julian-brandt-from-bayer-leverkusen|title=Borussia Dortmund Officially Confirm Signing of Julian Brandt From Bayer Leverkusen|date=22 May 2019|website=90min.com|language=en|access-date=29 June 2019|archive-date=23 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230223221704/https://www.90min.com/posts/6374041-borussia-dortmund-officially-confirm-signing-of-julian-brandt-from-bayer-leverkusen|url-status=dead}} On 22 May 2019, Brandt completed a transfer to Borussia Dortmund on a five-year deal for a reported €25 million after Dortmund activated a release clause in his contract.{{cite web |author1=Borussia Dortmund |title=Borussia Dortmund sign Julian Brandt |url=https://www.bvb.de/eng/News/Overview/Borussia-Dortmund-sign-Julian-Brandt |access-date=22 May 2019 |date=22 May 2019}}
