Career Woodall made his television debut with a guest appearance in a 2019 episode of the BBC One medical soap opera Holby City. He also appeared in the short film Man Down. That summer he was cast in the upcoming feature film Nomad out of 28,000 submissions. Filming took place in more than 20 countries.

In the meantime Woodall made his feature film debut in Cherry, directed by the Russo brothers. He played Adrian Ivashkov in the Peacock series Vampire Academy. He joined the main cast of the HBO anthology series The White Lotus for its second season in Sicily as Jack, a young man from Essex. To prepare for the role and adopt the character's Essex accent, he watched videos of television personality Joey Essex. He was named a 2023 Screen International Star of Tomorrow. He had a recurring role in the Amazon Prime series Citadel in 2023.

Woodall starred in his first lead role as Dexter Mayhew, opposite Ambika Mod, in One Day, the 2024 Netflix adaptation of David Nicholls's novel of the same name. The series tells the story of two young people who become best friends after a platonic one-night stand. Woodall received critical acclaim for his performance. Writing for IndieWire, Proma Khosla called him "especially devastating" and "a tornado of charisma with a permanent yet never smug smirk and a romcom smolder that should send his forbears cowering at the notion". The role was a breakthrough in Woodall’s career.

In 2025, Woodall played the lead role of a mathematician in the Apple TV+ thriller series Prime Target and starred in with Renée Zellweger, playing Roxster, Jones's younger and brazen new love interest.
