He was Stuttgart II's first-choice goalkeeper during their first four matches of the 2007–08 Regionalliga season, keeping two clean sheets in that period. He played 10 matches during the previous season, receiving two yellow cards.

In January 2008, he was promoted to the first team of VfB Stuttgart.{{cite web | url = http://www.vfb.de/archiv/en/aktuell/news/2007/16800.php | title = Sven Ulreich signs professional contract | date = 2 January 2008 | access-date = 2 January 2008 | work = vfb.de | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120318203336/http://www.vfb.de/archiv/en/aktuell/news/2007/16800.php | archive-date = 18 March 2012 }} But he also played again for the reserve team. He made his first team debut on 9 February 2008, in the 3–1 loss to Hertha BSC and earned his first victory as the starting goalkeeper on 16 February 2008, against MSV Duisburg.

On 6 April 2010, Ulreich extended his contract at VfB Stuttgart until the summer of 2013.{{cite web | url = http://vfb.de/archiv/en/aktuell/news/2009/36060.php | title = Ulreich signs till 2013 | date = 6 April 2010 | access-date = 6 April 2010 | work = vfb.de | publisher = VfB Stuttgart}} On 20 January 2012 he extended his contract until June 2017.{{cite web | url = http://www.vfb.de/en/aktuell/meldungen/news/2011/bobic-schneider-ulreich-vertraege/page/1251-0-1-1327077523.html | title = Triple contract extension | date = 20 January 2012 | access-date = 20 January 2012 | work = vfb.de | publisher = VfB Stuttgart | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141214094704/http://www.vfb.de/en/aktuell/meldungen/news/2011/bobic-schneider-ulreich-vertraege/page/1251-0-1-1327077523.html | archive-date = 14 December 2014 }}

For the 2015–16 season, Ulreich moved to Bayern Munich.{{cite news|last1=Kneer|first1=Christof|title=Jörg Butt in jung|url=http://www.sueddeutsche.de/sport/neuer-bayern-torhueter-sven-ulreich-joerg-butt-in-jung-1.2524198|access-date=16 June 2015|publisher=Süddeutsche Zeitung|date=16 June 2015|language=de}} He had been at Stuttgart since 1998.{{cite news|title=Ulreich wechselt zu den Bayern|url=https://www.kicker.de/ulreich-wechselt-zu-den-bayern-629076/artikel|access-date=16 June 2015|publisher=kicker|date=16 June 2015|language=de}}

Ulreich transferred to Bayern prior to the 2015–16 season and signed a contract until 2018. He was on the substitutes' bench for the 2015 DFL-Supercup.{{cite news|title=Joker Bendtner ist zweimal zur Stelle|url=https://www.kicker.de/wolfsburg-gegen-bayern-2015-dfl-supercup-2841005/analyse|access-date=2 August 2015|newspaper=kicker|date=1 August 2015|language=de}} He finished the 2015–16 season with three appearances.{{cite web | url = https://www.kicker.de/sven-ulreich/spieler/bundesliga/2015-16/fc-bayern-muenchen | title = Sven Ulreich | language = de | website = Kicker | access-date = 14 May 2016}} He finished the 2016–17 season with seven appearances.{{cite web | url = https://www.kicker.de/sven-ulreich/spieler/bundesliga/2024-25/fc-bayern-muenchen | title = Sven Ulreich | language = de | website = Kicker | access-date = 29 April 2017}}

He was able to feature regularly for Bayern Munich during the 2017–18 season, due to a long-term injury to first-choice goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.{{cite web | url = http://thegoalmouthscramble.net/2018/04/13/bayern-sven-ulreich-manuel-neuer/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180417191802/http://thegoalmouthscramble.net/2018/04/13/bayern-sven-ulreich-manuel-neuer/ | url-status = usurped | archive-date = 17 April 2018 | title = Bayern Munich's No. 1 Debate: Manuel Neuer or Sven Ulreich? | website = thegoalmouthscramble.net | date = 13 April 2018 | access-date = 17 April 2018}} Ulreich started the 2017–18 season by playing in the German Super Cup.{{cite web | url = https://www.kicker.de/dortmund-gegen-bayern-2017-dfl-supercup-3813700/analyse | title = Bayerns erster Titel dank Flippertor und Ulreich | language = de | website = Kicker | date = 5 August 2017 | access-date = 5 August 2017}} Ulreich played a key role in guiding Bayern Munich to a record sixth successive German Bundesliga title, which was confirmed in a 1–4 win away at FC Augsburg on 7 April 2018.{{cite web | url = https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43674934 | title = Bayern Munich wrap up sixth Bundesliga title in a row with win over Augsburg | website = BBC Sport | date = 7 April 2018 | access-date = 17 April 2018 | first = Emlyn | last = Begley}} However, Bayern Munich were eliminated from 2017–18 Champions League partly due to a goalkeeping error by Ulreich against Real Madrid in semi-finals.{{cite web|title=Spektakel in Madrid: FC Bayern nach 2:2 ausgeschieden|url=https://www.kicker.de/real-madrid-gegen-bayern-2018-champions-league-4212015/analyse|website=Kicker|publisher=kicker|access-date=1 May 2018|language=de}}{{cite web|title=Bayern Munich goalkeeper Ulreich apologises for horror Champions League gaffe|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/bayern-munich-goalkeeper-ulreich-apologises-for-horror-champions-/d13s6y2ep9nq1t567iz1borpr|website=Goal.com|access-date=2 May 2018|last=Sherlock|first=Harry}}{{cite web|title=James: Ulreich shouldn't be blamed for Champions League exit|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/james-rodriguez-sven-ulreich-bayern-munich-champions-league/2nluhywvprkv1gf1qdasdiiry|website=Goal.com|access-date=2 April 2018|last=Pisani|first=Sacha}} Bayern lost 4–3 on aggregate.

After Bayern had signed the goalkeeper Alexander Nübel in the summer of 2020 amidst much public interest, discussions arose as to who would be the backup behind Manuel Neuer in the future.{{cite news |last1=Wild |first1=Karlheinz |title=Ulreich: "Der Transfermarkt gibt nicht so viel her" |url=https://www.kicker.de/ulreich-der-transfermarkt-gibt-nicht-so-viel-her-786034/artikel |access-date=11 February 2021 |work=kicker |date=1 October 2020 |language=de}}{{cite news |title=Nübel stellte "Vertrauensfrage", Ulreich will "Nr. 1" sein |url=https://www.sport.de/news/ne4189261/fc-bayern-nuebel-stellte-vertrauensfrage-ulreich-will-nr-1-sein/ |access-date=11 February 2021 |work=sport.de |date=1 October 2020 |language=de}}{{cite news |title=FC Bayern München und die Torhüterfrage: Ulreich will weg - Nübel präferiert Leihe |url=https://www.spox.com/de/sport/fussball/bundesliga/fc-bayern/2010/Artikel/torhueterfragen-beim-fcb-ulreich-will-weg-nuebel-will-leihe.html |access-date=11 February 2021 |work=SPOX |date=1 October 2020 |language=de}} Ulreich therefore moved to 2. Bundesliga club Hamburger SV in early October 2020 shortly before the end of the transfer window, signing a three-year contract.{{cite web | url = https://fcbayern.com/en/news/2020/10/sven-ulreich-wechselt-zum-hsv | title = Sven Ulreich signs for HSV | website = FC Bayern Munich | date = 3 October 2020 | access-date = 3 October 2020}} There, the 32-year-old immediately took over as the starter in place of Daniel Heuer Fernandes under new head coach Daniel Thioune.{{cite news |title=HSV wechselt den Torwart – Sven Ulreich verdrängt Heuer Fernandes |url=https://www.welt.de/regionales/hamburg/article217949356/HSV-gegen-Greuther-Fuerth-Sven-Ulreich-verdraengt-Heuer-Fernandes.html |access-date=11 February 2021 |work=Welt |date=15 October 2020 |language=de}}

On 4 June 2021, Ulreich's contract with HSV was terminated prematurely.{{Cite web|last=Vice|first=Peter|date=5 June 2021|title=Ulreich and Hamburger SV terminate contract, report links keeper with return to Bayern|url=https://bulinews.com/news/8708/ulreich-and-hamburger-terminate-contract-report-links-keeper-with-return-bayern |access-date=5 June 2021|website=BuLi News}}
