Club career Ajax Born in Hoorn, Netherlands, Marco Bizot started his career in his early youth for SV Westfriezen in Zwaag, Netherlands. This is where he was discovered at age ten, and brought to Ajax's youth academy in 2000, from where he started in the E-youth levels. He joined the Jong Ajax selection for the 2010–11 season, where he received ample playing time under coaches Pieter Huistra and Fred Grim. After a successful season with Jong Ajax, Bizot received a contract extension, and was loaned to Cambuur in the Eerste Divisie for the 2011–12 season, in order to gain experience and to prove himself as a player.

AZ On 10 May 2017, Bizot signed a contract at AZ. He was picked as the replacement of Tim Krul, who returned to Newcastle United after a loan spell. Bizot played all 40 official games in the following season and played in the Dutch cup final. After the summer, he remained consistent with the most clean sheets ever in the Eredivisie. In February 2020 he extended his contract to mid-2022.

Bizot kept his first clean sheet for Brest on 31 October, which was also the club's first win of the season, a 2–0 home victory against Monaco. In the 2023–24 season, he contributed to his club's impressive campaign, with 13 clean sheets, as they secured a third-place finish in the league and first ever qualification to the UEFA Champions League.
