Leipzig fick sina stadsrättigheter 1165.
1813 stod här Slaget vid Leipzig (1813)|Slaget vid Leipzig då Österrike, Preussen och Ryssland besegrade Frankrike med allierade under Napoleons ledning. Monumentet över slaget har blivit en av Leipzigs kännemärken.
Under 1800-talet utvecklades Leipzig till en viktig knutpunkt för järnvägen. Den industriella utvecklingen ledde till en stor befolkningstillväxt och 1871 blev Leipzig en av Tysklands storstäder (Großstadt).
I samband med krigsslutet 1945 hamnade Leipzig en kort period under amerikansk kontroll innan staden hamnade under sovjetisk kontroll. När DDR grundades 1949 blev Leipzig huvudstad i distriktet Leipzig. Under DDR-tiden blev Leipzig ett av landets viktigaste städer och här hölls bl.a. stora SED-arrangemang på Zentralstadion.
Under 1989 ägde stora demonstrationer mot regimen rum i Leipzig.
Leipzig har en central roll i den tyska fotbollshistorien då det var här som det tyska fotbollförbundet DFB bildades Sportåret 1900|1900. Sportåret 1903|1903 korades VfB Leipzig till de första tyska mästarna i fotboll.
Under DDR-tiden var Leipzig en av de centrala städerna inom idrotten. Leipzig hade DDR:s största stadion, Zentralstadion, med plats för 100 000 åskådare för olika propaganda- och idrottsevemang. Man hade bl.a. ungdomsspartakiader med storslagna uppvisningar och landskamper i fotboll i Leipzig. VfB Leipzig blev under DDR-tiden 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig.
2006 var Leipzig en av värdorterna under VM i fotboll och man har för ändamålet byggt en helt ny och toppmodern Zentralstadion. Leipzig ansökte även om att få de olympiska spelen 2012 men misslyckades att nå slutomgången.
