Davidsson made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with Djurgårdens IF Hockey during the 2015–16 SHL season.[2] Davidsson also played for HockeyAllsvenskan team Asplöven HC on loan during the 2015–16 season.[3] Jonathan's younger brother Marcus played together with Jonathan for Djurgårdens IF.[4] Davidsson, along with his younger brother, extended his contract with Djurgården for an additional season in February 2018.[5]

On 5 May 2018, Davidsson signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets.[6] After attending the Blue Jackets 2018 training camp, Davidsson was loaned by the Blue Jackets to return to Sweden and continue his development with Djurgårdens IF for the duration of the 2018–19 season.[7]

On 22 February 2019, Davidsson was traded to the Ottawa Senators as part of the Blue Jackets acquisition of Senators forward Matt Duchene.[8] Davidsson played his first game in the NHL on 7 November 2019, against the Los Angeles Kings.[9]

After two seasons within the Senators organization, Davidsson as an impending restricted free agent opted to return to Sweden, signing a one-year contract along with his brother Marcus, to play with HV71 on 22 June 2021.[10]

After helping HV71 return to the SHL, Davidsson registered 2 points through 23 games in the 2022–23 season before he left the club, alongside Marcus in signing for the remainder of the season with Tappara of the Finnish Liiga on 18 December 2022.[11]
