He made his career league debut for Sparta Prague on 14 May 2016 in a Czech First League 5–0 home win against Jihlava. While at Sparta Prague, he won the Revelation of the Year award for the 2016–17 Czech First League season.[1]

On 2 February 2023, Polish club Jagiellonia Białystok announced the signing of Sáček on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[2]
