In 2014, Eriksson made his debut in open-wheel racing in the ADAC Formel Masters. In 2015 he stayed in the series, now called ADAC Formula 4, and finished the season second in the standings.

Two seasons in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters driving for BMW Team RBM followed. Eriksson achieved his maiden DTM victory in 2018 at Misano in a rain-drenched night race, becoming the second-youngest DTM race winner in the process.[1][2] He racked up a further two podiums the following year.

Eriksson was named by Dragon Racing as its official test and reserve driver for the 2019–20 season, taking part in the March 2020 rookie test at Marrakesh.[4] He retained the role the following year as the team rebranded as Dragon / Penske Autosport. He made his debut in the championship at the 2021 Puebla ePrix, replacing regular driver Nico Müller, who left the team due to several clashing commitments.[5] He finished the 2021 season with one point in eight races.
