Noted for her performance, Boye was called by the Ballerup-Skovlunde, BSF, sports club where she had the opportunity to play in the Elitedivisionen, the top level of the national championship. In 2012, Boye attended the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she played college soccer for the UTSA Roadrunners. Boye later returned to her Danish club BSF after the American season. Boye signed for Brøndby IF in the Danish Elitedivisionen in 2013 and was deployed as a central midfielder at club level.

She was later appointed captain of Brøndby.

Boye made her debut for the senior Denmark national team in December 2011, a 4–0 win over Chile at the São Paulo International Tournament. She entered play as a substitute for Mariann Gajhede Knudsen on 83 minutes. An injury sustained at the 2013 Algarve Cup kept Boye out of contention for a place in Denmark's squad for UEFA Euro 2013. In November 2014, it was reported that national coach Nils Nielsen was building his team around Boye, who had shown some of the same defensive qualities as Denmark's male captain Daniel Agger. In 2017, Boye was named to Denmark's UEFA Euro 2017 squad. She decided the penalty shootout in the semi-final against Austria and sent Denmark into their first ever European Championship final. In June 2022, she was selected for the final squad at the UEFA Euro 2022 in England.
