Håland agreed a one-year contract with Swiss Women's Super League club Lugano in January 2020,[3] before moving to Bristol City of the FA WSL in September 2020.[4] After finishing the season at the bottom of the table, Bristol City were relegated.[5] Straight off the back of the completion of the FA WSL season, Håland joined Icelandic top league team UMF Selfoss, until the end of the season.[6] She spent the second half of the 2021–22 season at Italian side Hellas Verona.[7]

In May 2022, it was announced that Benedicte would join the Scottish side Hibernian.[8] Håland settled in as the number one choice goalkeeper and played the majority of league matches as well as several cup matches. Håland helped Hibernian lift the Capital Cup in November 2022 by saving a penalty during the penalty shoot-out in the final.[9][10] She left the club at the end of the season, returning to Bristol City on a short-term contract.[11] On 19 January 2024, she left Bristol City.[12] Four days later, she signed for Women's Championship side Southampton.[13]
