The club operates a youth academy with more than 700 players of varying ages, providing a pathway for future stars to make it into the first team.

On the pitch, CD Leganes is known for their defensive organization and strength, often called "the cucumber growers" due to being from the town of Leganes which is near fields growing cucumbers. Their most famous recent achievement came in 2017 when they reached the Copa del Rey semi-finals, losing to Sevilla FC in a thrilling two-legged tie.

One of the exciting fixtures for CD Leganes each season is El Derbi Madrileño, their regional derby against Atletico Madrid, where the underdogs have sometimes managed to upset the giants. The proximity to Atletico Madrid makes this a heated affair and adds extra pressure to the players.
