Lykkegaard was born and raised in Farum and is a product of FC Nordsjælland, where he started when he was four years old.[1][2] In his first season as U17 player, Lykkegaard was injured with an anterior cruciate ligament injury and was out for about a year and a half.
After 14 years at the club, Lykkegaard was promoted to the first-team squad, where he made his professional debut in the Danish Superliga against FC Copenhagen on 13 December 2020.[1] Lykkegaard started on the bench, before replacing Daniel Svensson in the 78th minute.[3] Lykkegaard also played in the following league game against FC Midtjylland. Those two games were his only appearances in the 2020–21 season. On 21 July 2022, Lykkegaard signed a new deal with Nordsjælland until June 2025 and was loaned out to newly promoted Danish 1st Division club Hillerød.[4]
