On 24 October 2013, Darida debuted for SC Freiburg in the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League group stage match against Estoril Praia, scoring a goal in the 11th minute which ended in a 1–1 draw.[6] The same year on 27 October, he made his Bundesliga debut in a 0–3 home defeat against Hamburger SV.[7]
On 2 November 2014, Darida scored a penalty for the only goal of the game away to 1. FC Köln to give the club their first win in their 10th game of the season, moving them out of the direct relegation places.[8]
Hertha BSC
editDarida signed for Hertha BSC following Freiburg's relegation ahead of the 2015–16 Bundesliga for an undisclosed fee, wearing number 6 shirt.[9] He made an immediate impact for his club by scoring on his debut in the first round of DFB-Pokal against Arminia Bielefeld, which ended in a 2–0 victory. Darida got his first assist of the season through setting up Salomon Kalou in a 3–1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.[10] On 27 September he got his first league goal of the season scoring the equaliser in a 1–1 draw away to Frankfurt.[11]

Darida was included in the Czech Republic squad for UEFA Euro 2020,[16] serving as captain,[17] after which he retired from international football as he wanted to focus on spending time with his family.[18] Tomáš Souček was named as his successor as national team captain.[19]
