After receiving an offer from SC Heerenveen, Miedema signed her first professional contract as a 14-year-old and found herself playing in the Eredivisie, the top Dutch women's league, with players much older than herself. She made her senior debut at 15 during a match against FC Utrecht on 2 September 2011, becoming the youngest ever player in the league.{{cite news |title=WSL: Miedema breaks goal record, scoring 52 goals in 50 games |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/54529876 |access-date=27 October 2020 |publisher=BBC |date=19 October 2020 |archive-date=31 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201031114922/https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/54529876 |url-status=live }} In her debut season, the 2011–12 Eredivisie, she scored 10 goals in 17 games for Heerenveen, who finished last of seven teams.

In 2012–13, playing in the new cross-border BeNe League, she improved her tally to 27 goals in 26 games. Her 41 goals in 26 games for Heerenveen in the 2013–14 BeNe League season earned her the top-scorer award at the age of 17.{{cite web|title=Star of 2014: Vivianne Miedema|url=https://www.uefa.com/womensunder19/news/0253-0d0425d4ba74-eee55d76f3cc-1000--star-of-2014-vivianne-miedema/|first=Paul|last=Saffer|publisher=UEFA|date=29 December 2014|access-date=5 June 2015|archive-date=11 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200811095657/https://www.uefa.com/womensunder19/news/0253-0d0425d4ba74-eee55d76f3cc-1000--star-of-2014-vivianne-miedema/|url-status=live}}{{cite web |title=Vivianne Miedema |url=https://www.arsenal.com/women/players/vivianne-miedema |publisher=Arsenal |access-date=20 October 2020 |archive-date=21 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190621201746/https://www.arsenal.com/women/players/vivianne-miedema |url-status=live }} Her goal tally was 15 more than the nearest player.

She helped Bayern Munich defend the title the following season with 14 goals in 22 matches.

Miedema had been unhappy during her first three months in Germany because she could not speak German or English. Although she overcame these difficulties, she later grew dissatisfied with Bayern's long ball tactics.{{cite news |last1=Abdul |first1=Geneva |title=Vivianne Miedema Lets Her Goals Do the Talking |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/28/sports/soccer/vivianne-miedema.html |access-date=30 October 2020 |newspaper=The New York Times |date=28 February 2020 |archive-date=2 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201102112258/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/28/sports/soccer/vivianne-miedema.html |url-status=live }} In the 2016–17 Frauen-Bundesliga season, Miedema scored 14 goals in 22 appearances but Bayern were deposed as champions by VfL Wolfsburg.{{cite web |title=Despite a Domestic Double, Wolfsburg Women Kept Waiting |url=https://www.copa90.com/en/all/2017/6/despite-a-domestic-double-wolfsburg-women-kept-waiting |publisher=Copa90 |access-date=10 November 2020 |date=14 June 2017 |archive-date=29 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201029223502/https://www.copa90.com/en/all/2017/6/despite-a-domestic-double-wolfsburg-women-kept-waiting |url-status=dead }} She added eight goals in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League as Bayern reached the quarter-final, in which they were beaten 4–1 on aggregate by Paris Saint-Germain.{{cite web |title=Ngozi Ebere's PSG bury Bayern to advance to Champions League semis |url=http://www.jwsports1.com/ngozi-eberes-psg-bury-bayern-to-advance-to-champions-league-semis/ |publisher=JWsports1 |access-date=2 November 2020 |date=19 March 2017 |archive-date=23 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220323225656/https://www.jwsports1.com/ngozi-eberes-psg-bury-bayern-to-advance-to-champions-league-semis/ |url-status=dead }} Miedema was the top scorer of the Champions League season.

Miedema entered into contract negotiations with other leading clubs in Europe and the United States in 2017. Although Bayern wanted to keep her, they were not prepared to break their pay structure. Despite leading some "tough negotiations" with Miedema, manager Karin Danner was resigned to her departure: "she really wanted to change and we didn't want to break our structure for her in the end." Bayern signed Miedema's compatriots Jill Roord and Lineth Beerensteyn as her replacements.{{cite news |title=Oranje-Star Miedema: Nächste Ausfahrt London |trans-title=Oranje-Star Miedema: Next exit London |url=https://uefafrauenem.sportschau.de/niederlande2017/nachrichten/Oranje-Star-Miedema-Naechste-Ausfahrt-London-,miedema114.html |access-date=30 October 2020 |newspaper=Sportschau |date=21 June 2017 |language=de |archive-date=7 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201107232647/https://uefafrauenem.sportschau.de/niederlande2017/nachrichten/Oranje-Star-Miedema-Naechste-Ausfahrt-London-,miedema114.html |url-status=dead }}

Miedema grew up as a Feyenoord supporter and modelled her game on Robin van Persie. As she is Dutch and wore number 10 for Bayern Munich, she has been compared to Arjen Robben.

Former Arsenal striker Kelly Smith said of Miedema, "She scores goals with her left and right foot, her head, she sets goals up. For me, she is just the complete striker, and she's the best in the world at the moment. She's always a threat no matter what minute of the game it is.
