He was one of the most important players. He was also recognized and praised after Genk won the Belgian Pro League title in the 2010-11 season. He went on to win the Player of the Year and Goalkeeper of the Year awards in Genk. In 40 league games, he only allowed 32 goals. In the 2010-2011 seasons, he also had 14 clean sheets.

In July 2011, he agreed to a five-year contract with FC Chelsea for a cost of €9 million.

After a week, Courtois was sent to Atletico Madrid on a season-long loan. On the 25th of August, he made his Atletico debut against Vitoria de Guimaraes in the UEFA Europa League, scoring a 4-0 victory. He made his La Liga debut three days later with a 0-0 draw against Osasuna at the Vicente Calderon Stadium. Then he began playing against Chelsea in the “2012 UEFA Super Cup” final in Monaco, which Atletico won 4-1. He participated in 111 games for this team over the course of three seasons.

After that, in June of 2014, Courtois returned to Chelsea. Then he was given the number 13 jersey, which had previously belonged to Victor Moses. Later, he began playing for Chelsea in the Premier League, making his debut against Burnley in front of Petr Cech.

His best teammates are Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard.

Following the 2017–18 season, Courtois stated that he would like to be closer to his children, reigniting speculation of a Real Madrid transfer. Courtois announced his desire to move on after a solid showing at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where he earned the Golden Glove for best goalkeeper. Chelsea claimed that they would not let him go unless a successor could be found. Courtois retaliated by failing to report for training following the summer break, attempting to push his way out of Chelsea. Real Madrid announced on August 8, 2018, that they have signed Courtois to a six-year contract. Chelsea announced the acquisition a day later for a reported sum of £35 million.

In a 1–0 away win over Athletic Bilbao on July 5, 2020, Courtois kept his 17th clean sheet of the 2019–20 La Liga season, becoming the first Real Madrid goalkeeper to do so since Francisco Buyo in 1994–95. During the league season, he was an unquestioned starter as Real Madrid won the 2019–20 La Liga, becoming him the only player since Jose Luis Perez-Paya in 1954 to win titles with both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. After surrendering only 20 goals in 34 games, he won the Zamora Trophy for the third time in his career.
