On March 1, 2012, the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL) signed Payerl as an undrafted free agent to a three-year entry-level contract,[1] and he made his professional debut with their AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

On April 6, 2014, Payerl made his NHL debut with the Penguins playing against the Colorado Avalanche.[2]

Following the completion of his entry-level contract with the Penguins, and having suffered from injury in his final year with AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre, Payerl was not tendered a qualifying offer and was released to free agency. He went un-signed over the summer before belatedly signing a contract in the ECHL with the Cincinnati Cyclones on September 11, 2015.[3] Prior to the beginning of the 2015–16 season with the Cyclones, Payerl was signed to a try-out contract to attend the Milwaukee Admirals training camp on September 29, 2015. He featured in 8 games with the Admirals, impressing with 4 points to be released from his try-out and signed to an AHL contract for the remainder of the season on November 11, 2015.[4] Upon completing the season with the Admirals and posting a career high 29 points, Payerl was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with parent affiliate, the Nashville Predators on April 21, 2016.[5]

On September 24, 2017, Payerl as a free agent was announced to have signed a one-year AHL deal with the Providence Bruins.[6] In his lone season with Providence in 2017–18, Payerl was limited to 44 games through injury, posting 9 goals and 17 points.

In the following off-season, Payerl agreed to his first contract abroad in signing a one-year deal with German outfit, Augsburger Panther of the DEL, on May 17, 2018.[7]

In his fifth season with the Augsburger Panther in 2022–23, Payerl contributed with 9 goals and 17 points through 45 regular season games, however was unable to help prevent the Panthers finish in a relegation position. Payerl left the club at the conclusion of his contract on March 16, 2023.[8]

On June 30, 2023, Payerl left Germany and signed a contract with Austrian club, EC Red Bull Salzburg of the neighbouring ICE Hockey League (ICEHL).[9]
