Sýkora began his professional career at Sparta Prague, but failed to make a league appearance for their first team. He also spent time on loan at Zbrojovka Brno before transferring to Slovan Liberec in 2015.[citation needed]
On 15 September 2016, Sýkora scored the fastest ever goal of UEFA Europa League, finding the net after just 10.69 seconds in Liberec's group stage match against Qarabağ FK.[2][3] In total, he made 34 league appearances for Liberec, scoring one goal.[citation needed]
After a long battle for his signature between Slavia Prague and Viktoria Plzeň, the two frontrunners for the league title at the time, Sýkora signed for the former in January 2017.[4] On 22 November 2018, Sýkora signed a new contract with Slavia until 2022.[5] In February 2019, he returned to Slovan Liberec on loan until the end of the season.[6]
On 24 August 2020, Sýkora signed a four-year contract with Polish Ekstraklasa football club Lech Poznań.[7] He debuted six days later during league match against Wisła Płock.[8][9]
On 6 July 2022, Sýkora signed a three-year contract with Czech First League side Viktoria Plzeň.[10]
In August 2016, Sýkora got his first call-up to the Czech Republic national football team for a friendly match against Armenia and 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Northern Ireland.[11] He debuted against the former opponent on 31 August.[12] In November 2017, Sýkora scored his first international goal in a 2–1 victory against Iceland.[13]
