Club career

Bühler played as a junior at FC Schötz, where she played on boys' teams. In July 2012 she moved to SC Kriens in the Nationalliga A, where she played her first game with the first team in the Swiss Cup in November of the same year. In 2014 her team was integrated into FC Luzern.[2] In 2016 she had to pause for almost a year because of her second cruciate ligament tear after 2011. In 2017 she moved to FC Zürich, for whom she also played in the Champions League. In 2018 she won the double with the club.  In the summer of 2018, she switched to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.

For the 2023/24 season, she was signed by Women's Super League club Tottenham Hotspur and given a contract that runs until 30 June 2025.[3]

Bühler made her senior debut against Italy on 28 February 2018 at the Cyprus Cup. She appeared for the team during the 2019 World Cup qualifying cycle.[4] She took part in the Euro 2022 and was in two of three group games in the starting lineup. Switzerland was eliminated after the preliminary round. She was named to the Swiss squad for the 2023 World Cup.

Bühler grew up in Altishofen with five siblings. She completed her schooling at the Kantonsschule Willisau in 2015 with her high school diploma.  In 2019 she completed a bachelor's degree in business administration at the University of Zurich.
