During the 2018–19 season, Björnfot made his SHL and professional debut with Djurgårdens IF on October 20, 2018.[2]

On 21 June 2019, Björnfot was the second player to be selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, taken in the first round with the 22nd overall pick, which the Kings acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs in a trade that sent Jake Muzzin to Toronto. On July 14, 2019, Björnfot was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Kings.[3]

On 8 August 2020, approaching the second year of his entry-level contract the Los Angeles Kings loaned Björnfot to his Swedish club, Djurgårdens IF to continue his development before the commencement of the delayed North American 2020–21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
