History
Founded in 2009, RB Leipzig are the story of one of the most rapid rises in football history — climbing from Germany's fifth tier to the Bundesliga in just seven years, powered by Red Bull backing. Since reaching the top flight in 2016, Die Roten Bullen have become a fixture in European competition, finishing Bundesliga runners-up in 2017 and 2021, reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-final in 2020, and winning back-to-back DFB-Pokal titles in 2022 and 2023 — their first major trophies.
Red Bull Arena
Leipzig play their home matches at the Red Bull Arena, built within the shell of the historic Zentralstadion and reopened in 2010, with a capacity of 47,800. A former 2006 World Cup venue, the modern arena generates a lively, high-energy atmosphere and sits just a short tram ride from Leipzig's city centre.
The 2026/27 Squad
Under head coach Ole Werner, Leipzig are marshalled by long-serving captain Willi Orbán in defence, alongside Castello Lukeba and attacking full-back David Raum, with the experienced Peter Gulácsi in goal. Austria international Christoph Baumgartner — the team's top scorer last season — drives the midfield with Xaver Schlager and Nicolas Seiwald, while new arrivals including winger Johan Bakayoko and striker Conrad Harder add fresh firepower alongside the electric Antonio Nusa.
2026/27 Expectations
After a strong bounce-back campaign in 2025/26, Leipzig aim to reassert themselves as Germany's leading challengers behind Bayern Munich. Ole Werner's side will target a return to the top of the Champions League places, a deep run in the DFB-Pokal they know how to win, and consistent European nights at the Red Bull Arena.
Key Matches
The fixtures that light up Leipzig's season are the heavyweight Bundesliga clashes with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund — the games that define the race for the title and Champions League places — along with meetings against Bayer Leverkusen and the unmissable Champions League nights when Europe's elite visit the Red Bull Arena. These marquee games sell out the fastest, so early planning is essential.
