Pircher's pro football career began in 2019 with the Swarco Raiders Tirol in the Austrian Football League (AFL). He played right tackle, eventually winning the 2019 Central European Football League (CEFL) and the 2019 Austrian Bowl (AFL) championships with the Raiders.
In May 2021, the Los Angeles Rams signed Pircher as part of the NFL's International Player Pathway Program, making him the second member of the Tirol Raiders to join the NFL through the pathway program after Sandro Platzgummer.[2] Pircher was a member of the Ram's practice squad for two seasons, including their victory in Super Bowl LVI, making Pircher a Super Bowl champion.[3]
On May 29, 2023, Pircher was signed by the Detroit Lions as part of the 2023 International Player Pathway Program.[4] He was released on August 29 during final roster cuts and signed to the practice squad the next day.[5] He was not signed to a reserve/future contract after the season and thus became a free agent when his practice squad contract expired.[6]
On April 9, 2024, Pircher was signed by the Seattle Seahawks.[7] He was waived on August 27, and re-signed to the practice squad, but was released a few days later.[8][9][10]
