Prior to the 2023–24 season, Bischoff joined Brøndby's first team in pre-season training camp alongside Ludwig Vraa-Jensen and Noah Nartey.

His Danish Superliga debut followed after the winter break, coming off the bench in the 85th minute for Sebastian Sebulonsen in a 3–0 away victory against OB on 25 February 2024. On 21 July 2024, Bischoff scored his first professional goal in Brøndby's season opener away against Viborg in a 3–3 away draw. This also marked his first start for the club's first team. Four days later, he made his European debut, starting against Kosovan club Llapi in a 6–0 victory at home in the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round.
