Augustinsson started his football career at age six with Stockholm side IF Brommapojkarna. He was notable throughout his youth years, being the captain for the team's U17 squad and having trials with clubs such as Borussia Mönchengladbach and Sampdoria.{{cite web|url=http://www.tipselit.se/Startsida/Turneringar/Gothia-Tipselit-Trophy-2011/Ludwig-siktar-hogt/|title=Ludwig siktar högt|publisher=TipsElit|date=23 July 2011|access-date=8 April 2016|language=sv|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160422115832/http://www.tipselit.se/Startsida/Turneringar/Gothia-Tipselit-Trophy-2011/Ludwig-siktar-hogt/|archive-date=22 April 2016}} After advancing through the youth ranks, he earned a spot in the first team as a 16-year-old in 2011{{cite web|url=http://www.svenskafans.com/fotboll/brommapojkarna/Silly-Season-2012Kontrakt-gar-uttruppen-rensas-421193.aspx |title=Silly Season 2011/2012 |publisher=SvenskaFans.com|access-date=5 October 2014|language=sv}} and made his debut in Superettan later that year.{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/players/ludwig-augustinsson/160427/ |title=Ludwig Augustinsson |publisher=Soccerway |access-date=5 October 2014}} With four appearances in his debut season, including his senior debut in the domestic cup,{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2011/05/12/sweden/svenska-cupen/ildrottsforening--brommapojkarna/gefle-idrottsforening/1106749/|title=Brommapojkarna 3–1 Gefle |publisher=Soccerway |date=12 May 2011 |access-date=2 December 2015|language=sv}} he came to play almost every game the following year, ending up with two goals and four assists.

File:Ludwig Augustinsson (2014, cropped).jpgThe move to top team IFK Göteborg went well and Augustinsson played most of the games during the pre-season. When Svenska Cupen began in March, he was first-choice as left-back and played two games in the group stage. IFK Göteborg later won the cup against Djurgården in the final. Just a couple of weeks before the start of 2013 Allsvenskan, he picked up a knee injury while playing for Sweden under-21s, which kept him out of action for five months.{{cite web |url=http://www.gp.se/sport/fotboll/1.1477006-augustinsson-borta-fem-manader |title=Augustinsson borta fem månader |publisher=Göteborgs-Posten |date=28 March 2012 |access-date=5 October 2014 |language=sv |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304060436/http://www.gp.se/sport/fotboll/1.1477006-augustinsson-borta-fem-manader |archive-date=4 March 2016 |url-status=dead }} On his Allsvenskan debut on 25 August 2013 in an away match against Malmö FF he suffered another injury, which meant that he would be out for the rest of the season.{{cite web|url=http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/sverige/allsvenskan/ifkgoteborg/article17351223.ab |title=Första matchen sen mars – skadad igen |publisher=Sportbladet |date=25 August 2012 |access-date=5 October 2014|language=sv}}

Augustinsson came back from his second injury in time for the first competitive match in 2014, against Värnamo in Svenska Cupen in early March.{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/matches/2014/03/01/sweden/svenska-cupen/ildrottsforeningen-kamraterna-goteborg/ildrottsforeningen-kamraterna-varnamo/1602278/|title=IFK Göteborg vs. Värnamo 2 – 0|publisher=Soccerway |date=1 March 2014|access-date=29 December 2015|language=sv}} He scored his first goal in Allsvenskan on 24 September in the 2014 season, when IFK Göteborg won away against Örebro SK by 4–3.{{cite web|url=https://svenskfotboll.se/allsvenskan/match/?scr=result&fmid=2663264 |title= Örebro – IFK Göteborg |publisher=SvenskFotboll |date=24 September 2014 |access-date=10 February 2015|language=sv}} He played 28 league games that season, without being substituted, and assisted for three goals.{{cite web|title=Ludwig Augustinsson|url=https://svenskfotboll.se/allsvenskan/person/?playerid=7350|publisher=SvenskFotboll|access-date=2 December 2015|language=sv}}

He later earned a spot in Allsvenskan's Team of the Year 2014 – voted by supporters of the SvenskaFans.com website.{{cite web|url=http://www.svenskafans.com/fotboll/arets-lag-vansterback-519968.aspx |title= Årets lag – Vänsterback |publisher=SvenskaFans.com |date=17 November 2014 |access-date=10 February 2015|language=sv}}

Augustinsson transferred to F.C. Copenhagen on 5 January 2015 after signing a 4.5-year contract on 6 June 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.ifkgoteborg.se/Nyheter/2014/Juni/Ludde-till-FC-Kopenhamn-efter-sasongen/|title=Ludde till FC Köpenhamn efter säsongen|publisher=IFK Göteborg|date=6 June 2014|access-date=6 June 2014|language=sv|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141017084217/http://www.ifkgoteborg.se/Nyheter/2014/Juni/Ludde-till-FC-Kopenhamn-efter-sasongen/|archive-date=17 October 2014}} The deal was made so he could be the replacement for Pierre Bengtsson at the left-back position when Bengtsson's contract ended with Copenhagen on 31 December 2014. The transfer fee was estimated at 13 million SEK (approximately €1.4 million), which made him the most expensive wing-back ever bought from Sweden.{{cite news |url=http://www.expressen.se/gt/sport/blavitt-salde-talangen-for-en-rekordsumma/|title=Blåvitt sålde talangen för en rekordsumma | date=8 June 2014 |access-date=23 October 2014 |publisher=Expressen|language=sv}}

Having played every exhibition game during the winter break for Copenhagen, Augustinsson made his Superliga-debut against Vestsjælland when the season restarted in February. He assisted the first goal of the game and scored later himself, playing a key role in the team's 2–0 victory. Ekstra Bladet described it as "the dream debut" and manager Ståle Solbakken said it was the best debut since his own debut for Copenhagen against rivals Brøndby back in the year 2000.{{cite web|title= Ståle om ny svensker: Bedste debut siden...MIG!|url=http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/fodbold/dansk_fodbold/superligaen/staale-om-ny-svensker-bedste-debut-sidenmig/5453842|publisher=Ekstrabladet |date=22 February 2015 |access-date=22 February 2015|language=da}}

He came to play 15 league games during the spring season, helping the team reach the second place in the league. He was noted for six assists, which placed him third in the assist-table and which made him the defender with the most assists of the 2014–15 season – despite playing less than half of the games.{{cite web|title=Assists, top 20, 2014/2015|url=http://www.superstats.dk/maal/assist?aar=2014%2F2015|publisher=SuperStats.dk|access-date=28 December 2015|language=da}} Defensively Copenhagen only conceded goals in six games, with many experts claiming that he was one of the best players of the spring season.{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}}

Augustinsson played regularly in the Danish Cup as well throughout the spring, and scored a match winning 1–0 goal from a free kick against Esbjerg in the second game of the semifinals.{{cite web|title=Esbjerg fB – FC København (30. april 2015)|url=http://www.bold.dk/fodbold/kamp/esbjerg-fb-vs-fc-koebenhavn/6936633/|publisher=bold.dk|date=30 April 2015 |access-date=28 December 2015|language=da}} Copenhagen later won the final in May against Vestsjælland, with him providing an assist in the team's 3–2 win.{{cite web|title=FC Vestsjælland – FC København (14. maj 2015)|url=http://www.bold.dk/fodbold/kamp/fc-vestsjaelland-vs-fc-koebenhavn/7662544/|publisher=bold.dk|date=14 May 2015 |access-date=28 December 2015|language=da}} The cup win was his second title of his career and his first for the club.

The 2015–16 season was Augustinsson's most successful season in his career, winning his first domestic league title and securing his third domestic cup victory. Being rumored with moves to top teams, such as Liverpool, after winning the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, Augustinsson stayed in Denmark and played his first complete season for Copenhagen.

In the league, Augustinsson played every minute of the first 30 games, until he was rested for the final two away games when the trophy was already secured in the middle of May.{{cite news|title=Svenska landslagstrion får ledigt av danska toppklubben|url=http://www.fotbollskanalen.se/danmark-1/svenska-landslagstrion-far-ledigt-av-danska-toppklubben/|publisher=Fotbollskanalen|date=21 May 2015 |access-date=5 June 2016|language=sv}} He assisted to nine goals throughout the campaign, placing him as tied leader with Nicolaj Thomsen and Rasmus Falk.{{cite web|title=Assists, top 20, 2015/2016|url=http://www.superstats.dk/maal/assist?aar=2015%2F2016|publisher=SuperStats.dk|access-date=28 December 2015|language=da}} Ekstra Bladet ranked him as one of the five best players for Copenhagen, awarding 5 of 6 stars for his performance, citing an improvement compared to the spring part of the season.{{cite news|title=Så meget har de bidraget til guldet: Disse FCK-stjerner gik forrest|url=http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/fodbold/dansk_fodbold/superligaen/fc_koebenhavn/saa-meget-har-de-bidraget-til-guldet-disse-fck-stjerner-gik-forrest/6084543|publisher=Ekstra Bladet|date=29 May 2015 |access-date=5 June 2016|language=da}}

During the Copenhagen derby at Brøndby on 17 April 2017, Augustinsson had dead rats thrown at him by home supporters as he prepared to take a corner kick. Play was stopped and Copenhagen players attempted to kick the rats off the pitch before stewards arrived to pick up the rodents.{{cite news|last1=Palazzo|first1=Chiara|title=Danish football fans throw dead rats at players during Copenhagen derby|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/04/18/danish-football-fans-throw-dead-rats-copenhagen-players-derby/|access-date=19 April 2017|work=The Telegraph|date=18 April 2017}}

On 17 August 2024, he scored his first goal for Anderlecht, in a 3-1 away win against KV Mechelen.

Augustinsson represented Sweden under-17s and the under-19s 21 times between 2009 and 2013.{{cite web|url=https://svenskfotboll.se/arkiv/landslag/2016/05/trupp-em2016/|title=EM-truppen uttagen|publisher=SvenskFotboll.se|date=11 May 2016|access-date=11 May 2016|language=sv}} He has made 19 caps for Sweden under-21s since 2012 and is still eligible to play for the team. His biggest success came for the under-21 team, when they manage to qualify to the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and later win the tournament, whilst being a key player in Håkan Ericson's squad.

In 2016, Augustinsson was denied joining Sweden under-23s squad for the 2016 Olympics in August by his club Copenhagen.{{cite news|url=http://www.gp.se/sport/fotboll/ingen-augustinsson-i-os-1.12711|title=Ingen Augustinsson i OS|publisher=Göteborgs-Posten|date=13 January 2016|access-date=11 October 2016|language=sv}}

Sweden managed to qualify to the European U21 Championship in Czech Republic for the first time since 2004 after a successful qualification. In an exhibition game against Portugal U21 in early 2013, Augustinsson injured his knee and was later out for the rest of the year, which meant he missed most of the qualification games. He was however Håkan Ericson's first choice at the left-back position when he was available and was part of the squad in the games of 2014.{{cite web|url=http://www.svt.se/sport/fotboll/seger-ett-maste-for-u21-landslaget|title=Avbräck i U21-landslaget inför ödesmatchen|publisher=SvT |date=9 September 2014 |access-date=23 February 2015|language=sv}}

Sweden however managed to advance from the group, thanks to winning against Italy and drawing against Portugal. After knocking out Denmark in the semi-final by 4–1, Sweden were to play Portugal again in the final. In a goalless match, the first kept clean sheet of Sweden in the tournament, the final had to be decided by a penalty shoot-out. Augustinsson scored his penalty and Sweden won by 4–3. He received international praise for his final performance, described as "outstanding".{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/jul/01/european-under-21-championship-team-of-tournament|title= European Under-21 Championship: our team of the tournament|work=The Guardian |date=1 July 2015 |access-date=10 February 2015}} He earned a spot in The Guardian's 'Team of the Tournament'.
