Van de Beek began his career as a boy with the local Veensche Boys’ academy where his father, André, once played. In August 2014, he joined the Ajax youth academy signing a three-year contract, and was assigned to the D-team. He progressed further through the academy and featured in the A1 team Supercup victory against the Feyenoord A1 team. On 27th January 2015, he signed a contract extension, to keep him at the club until mid-2018.

Van de Beek made his debut for Jong Ajax (the Ajax reserve team) in the Eerste Divisie against Sparta Rotterdam in January 2015. At the end of the 2014/2015 season, he won the AFC Ajax Talent of the Future award.

In November 2015, Van de Beek was called to the senior team for a UEFA Europa League match against Scottish club Celtic. He made his European debut in the match, which Ajax won 2–1. He was officially promoted to the first team on 16 February. Media reports suggested that German club Bayern Munich and the Spanish club, Barcelona, were interested in signing him. By the end of the 2015/2016 season, he cemented his position with the first team, and was also playing regularly for the Ajax under-19 team in the UEFA Youth League. 

In the 20162017 season, Ajax progressed to the Europa League Final, but lost to Manchester United.

Van de Beek had little involvement during his first season at Manchester United, starting only four Premier League matches.

In his second year, he was not started in the Premier League at all, although he did get a few starts in the Champions League and the EFL Cup. On 31st January 2022, Van de Beek was loaned out to Premier League club Everton until the end of the 2021/2022 season.

On 14th November 2017, Van de Beek made his senior international debut against Romania in a friendly match. He appeared in both games in the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals as a substitute, as the Netherlands defeated England 3–1 but lost to Portugal in the final 1–0.
