On 23 June 2017, Liljegren was selected in the first-round, 17th overall, by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.[2] He later agreed with the Maple Leafs to a three-year, entry-level contract on 12 July 2017.[3] Liljegren was assigned to the Maple Leafs' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, for their 2017–18 season. In his rookie season, he was the youngest defenceman in the AHL.[4] That same season, the Marlies beat the Texas Stars to win the Calder Cup.
Liljegren made his NHL debut with the Maple Leafs on 18 January 2020 in a 6–2 defeat against the Chicago Blackhawks.[5] He earned his first NHL point in his sixth NHL game; an assist in a 4–2 victory over the Ottawa Senators.[6]
Liljegren scored his first National Hockey League goal on 15 January 2022 against Jordan Binnington of the St. Louis Blues.[7]
On 27 June 2022, Liljegren signed a two-year $2.8 million contract with the Maple Leafs.[8] He missed the beginning of the 2022–23 season with a hernia. He played his first game of the season on 5 November against the Boston Bruins.[9]
