On 5 November 2020, Hermansen made his professional debut in a Danish Cup match against Ledøje-Smørum Fodbold, which ended in a 1–0 win for Brøndby.[4] At the end of the 2020–21 season, Brøndby became Danish champions for the first time since 2005,[5] with Hermansen featuring as the backup to German goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe. Therefore, he did not make a league appearance.[6]

After Schwäbe's departure to 1. FC Köln, Hermansen assumed to role as starting goalkeeper.[7] He made his debut in the Danish Superliga on 18 July 2021 in a 1–1 draw against AGF.[8] The following month, on 17 August, Hermansen made his European debut in a 1–2 loss to Red Bull Salzburg in the first leg of the play-off round of the UEFA Champions League.[9] Despite the loss, Hermansen impressed in goal with vital saves.[10][11]

International career

Hermansen has represented Denmark at youth international levels from under-16 to under-19.[12]

In November 2020, Hermansen was called up for the Denmark under-21 team for the first time.[13] On 7 September 2021, he gained his first cap for the team in a 1–0 win over Kazakhstan in the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification.[14][15]
