Kozłowski started his career with Pogoń Szczecin. In January 2022, he transferred to Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion where he was immediately loaned to Brighton's sister club Union SG of Belgian First Division A for the rest of the season.[3][4]
In August 2022, Kozłowski joined Vitesse in the Netherlands on loan until the end of the 2022–23 season.[5]
In June 2021, Kozłowski featured for Poland at UEFA Euro 2020 in a 1–1 draw with Spain, to become the youngest player of any nationality to play at a European Championship, aged 17 years and 246 days, breaking the previous record of Jude Bellingham, who himself had broken the same record only six days prior.[6]
On 10 January 2020, Kozłowski suffered a traffic accident that almost ended his football career.[7]
