Erik Botheim started his career at Lyn and made his senior debut at 15 years old in June 2015, when he came off the bench against Ullern in a match that ended 2–2. He scored his first senior goal in October 2015, when he scored in Lyn's 9–2 win over Holmen.[3]

In July 2016, Botheim signed for Rosenborg.[4] He made his debut for Rosenborg on 26 April 2017 in the first round of the Norwegian Football Cup, when he started away to Strindheim in a match that ended with a 2–0 win.[5] Later that season, on 17 September 2017, he got his league debut for Rosenborg against Vålerenga, coming on for Anders Trondsen after 81 minutes in a game Rosenborg won 3–0.[6] He scored his first Eliteserien goal against Tromsø on 7 July 2018. A year later, on 10 August 2019, Botheim scored his first hattrick, again scoring against Tromsø. [7] On 15 February 2021, Botheim agreed a mutual termination of his contract. He joined FK Bodø/Glimt. On 21 October 2021, Botheim scored two goals in Bodo/Glimt's 6–1 drubbing of José Mourinho's Roma in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

On 22 December 2021, he signed a 3.5-year contract with Russian club Krasnodar.[8] On 3 March 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Krasnodar announced that his contract was suspended and he would not train with the team, but the contract was not terminated and remained valid.[9] On 18 May 2022, his contract with Krasnodar was terminated.[10]

On 7 July 2022, Botheim signed a contract until 2026 with Salernitana in Italy.[11]
