2006–2009: Rise to the first team

In July 2006, Hinteregger was scouted by cooperation club Red Bull Salzburg. After 12 youth appearances and two goals in the 2006–07 season, another 19 games and one goal followed in the 2007–08 season, in which he was already accepted as a permanent member of the youth department of Salzburg and was no longer in the squad as a cooperation player. After having played in a few U17 games, he made his first appearance for the club's U19 team in March 2009, competing in the U19 League. On 2 May 2009, he scored his first goal for the team in the 26th minute of a 3–2 away defeat against the U19 academy team from Vorarlberg. During this season, Hinteregger was utilised in a total of eleven U19 games in which he scored two goals. In the 2009–10 season, the native Carinthian was also an integral part of the left defensive side of the academy team, for which he appeared in 14 games until the end…

After being capped at various youth levels for Austria, Hinteregger made his debut for the Austria senior team in a 1–0 friendly win over the United States on 19 November 2013. He represented the national team at 2016 UEFA Euro and 2020 UEFA Euro.

In June 2022, two weeks before his retirement, Hinteregger came under fire in the media after it was discovered that he had organized a football event, the "Hinti Cup" in his hometown of Sirnitz, in collaboration with Heinrich Sickl, a far-right politician and former neo-Nazi. Hinteregger later announced that he cut ties with Sickl, and emphasized that he "just want[s] a football tournament to take place and nothing more".
