Michael Liendl began his career playing for FC Nenzing and FC Thüringen. He later played for Grazer AK, Kapfenberger SV, Austria Wien and Wolfsberger AC, before moving to Germany to join Fortuna Düsseldorf in 2014, and 1860 Munich in 2015.

He then played for Dutch club Twente, before returning to Austria to rejoin Wolfsberger AC in 2018. On 29 October 2020, Liendl scored a hat-trick in a 4–1 away win over Feyenoord in the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League, becoming the third oldest player to achieve that feat, behind only Zlatan Ibrahimović and Aritz Aduriz.

On 2 June 2022, Liendl returned to Grazer AK, the club where he began his professional career, signing a one-year contract.

On 3 June 2014, he made his debut for the Austria national football team under coach Marcel Koller, in a friendly away match against Czech Republic, in which he came on as a substitute to Andreas Ivanschitz in the 63rd minute. However, the match ended in a 2–1 win for Austria.

Michael Liendl has been a co-commentator for ORF broadcasts of the Austrian National Soccer Team games since 2024.
