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.
