Club career
Dárdai began his youth career with Seeburger SV and 1. FC Wilmersdorf, before joining the youth academy of Hertha BSC in 2012. He made his professional debut for Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga on 7 November 2020, coming on as a substitute for Dedryck Boyata in the second minute of second-half stoppage time against FC Augsburg, which finished as a 3–0 away win.

On 21 November 2023, Dárdai, in an interview published by Kicker said that he had not decided which nation he would represent at senior level. He met with Marco Rossi, the coach of Hungary, to discuss his intentions in December 2023.
On 22 January 2024, Dárdai announced his decision to represent the Hungary national team at senior level, emulating his father Pál and elder brother Palkó who are both full internationals for Hungary.

On 22 March, he came on as a substitute for Botond Balogh in the 67th minute of the match against Turkey at the Puskás Aréna, gaining his first senior international cap. Four days later, he made his first start for the team, playing the full 90 minutes in central defence as Hungary beat Kosovo 2–0.
On 14 May 2024, Dárdai was named in Hungary's squad for UEFA Euro 2024. In the team's opening match of the tournament, he came on as a 79th minute substitute for Attila Szalai as the Magyars were beaten 3–1 by Switzerland in Cologne. On 19 June, he started against his birth nation Germany in a 2–0 loss in Stuttgart. He again started in the third Group A match against Scotland on 23 June, playing 74 minutes before being replaced by Szalai.
