A Rosenheim native,[1] Akdag came through the youth ranks of the Starbulls Rosenheim. After joining the Krefeld Pinguine organization, he made his debut in Germany's top-flight Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) during the 2007–08 campaign. Following a seven-year stint with the Krefeld team, he signed with fellow DEL side Adler Mannheim in 2014[2] and won the German championship in his first year with the team.[3]

He received DEL Defenseman of the Year honors in the 2015–16 season.[4]

Following nine seasons with Adler Mannheim, Akdag left the club as a free agent and was signed to a two-year contract to continue in the DEL with Düsseldorfer EG on 12 May 2023.[5]

After representing Germany at the U17, U18 and U20 level, he made his debut on the men's national team in December 2011.[6] Akdag was nominated to be part of Team Germany during the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
