Pavlenka joined Slavia Prague from Baník Ostrava in January 2016 for a transfer fee of €380,000.[2][3] He won the league title with Slavia Prague in the 2016–17 Czech First League season.[4]
In June 2017, Pavlenka joined Werder Bremen signing a three-year contract with the option of a fourth year.[5] The transfer fee was estimated at €3 million.[5] In August 2018, following a strong debut season in the Bundesliga, Pavlenka agreed a contract extension with the club.[6]
After the seventh matchday of the 2023–24 season, Pavlenka was replaced by Michael Zetterer as Bremen's first-choice goalkeeper and did not appear in any more matches for the rest of the season.[7] His contract was not extended, and he left Bremen at the end of the season, after seven years at the club.[8]
Having represented under-21, Pavlenka received his first call-up to the senior Czech Republic side for a friendly against Slovakia in March 2015.[9] He debuted for the senior side on 15 November 2016 in a friendly match against Denmark.[10]
Along with other Czech players in Bundesliga, Pavlenka was called for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification in March 2021, and was allegedly only available for the first match against Estonia.[11] However, due to COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, the German government removed the necessity for players to undergo a mandatory two-week quarantine after returning to Germany, which the Bundesliga clubs discouraged.[12]
In May 2021, Pavlenka was included in the 23-man Czech squad for the rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020.[13] He was injured during a match against Estonia, later replaced by Tomáš Koubek and Vaclík.[14]
