Sevikyan made his senior debut with the reserves on 19 January 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Álex Blesa in a 0–1 Segunda División B away loss against CE Sabadell.[5] He was handed his first start seven days later, and scored his team's second in a 3–1 away defeat of Hércules.[6]
Sevikyan made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 5 December 2020, replacing goalscorer Jorge de Frutos late into a 3–0 home win against Getafe CF.[7]
On 6 July 2022, Sevikyan signed a three-year contract with Russian Premier League club Pari Nizhny Novgorod.[8] He made his RPL debut for Pari NN on 9 October 2022 against FC Torpedo Moscow.[9]

On 20 April 2024, the Ferencváros–Kisvárda tie ended with a goalless draw at the Groupama Aréna on the 29th match day of the 2023–24 Nemzeti Bajnokság I season[15] which meant that Ferencváros won their 35th championship.[16][17]
