Hudson-Odoi joined Chelsea in 2007 and made his under-18 debut in August 2016. He went onto net eight times in twenty-five appearances in his debut campaign, assisting the under-18's to their eight FA Youth Cup triumph. Following this, Hudson-Odoi was promoted to the under-23 side at the age of sixteen and went onto score four times in three games during their EFL Trophy campaign, including a double in their 2–2 draw with League One side, Plymouth Argyle.

On 20 December 2017, Hudson-Odoi first appeared in Chelsea's first-team matchday squad in their EFL Cup tie against Bournemouth, remaining as an unused substitute in the 2–1 victory. On 28 January 2018, Hudson-Odoi made his first-team debut in the FA Cup match against Newcastle United. He came off the bench in the 81st minute, replacing Pedro in a 3–0 home victory. His Premier League debut came as a substitute on 31 January in a 3–0 home loss to Bournemouth.

Eligible for both England and Ghana, Hudson-Odoi has represented England at both under-16 and most noticeably under-17 level. Hudson-Odoi was an influential figure during England's 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup campaign, netting once in seven appearances and featuring for the entire 90 minutes during their 5–2 final victory over Spain.
