Club career Born in Speyer, Weiß played for TSG Hoffenheim and SV Sandhausen's academies, and joined Karlsruher SC's academy after being released from Sandhausen's in 2019.

Burnley On 25 June 2025, Weiß joined Premier League club Burnley on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee, which was reported to be £4,300,000. He made his debut for the club, starting the whole game, in a 2-1 win against Derby County in the second round of the EFL Cup. Having been used as a starter for Burnley's matches in the cup competitions, Weiß made his Premier League debut, having been chosen to start over Martin Dúbravka, in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa on 10 May 2026.
