Originating from Lausanne, Sadeleer started his karting career in 2009 at the age of twelve, securing 11th place in that year's Swiss Rotax Max Challenge Mini category.
Formula BMW
He transitioned to single-seater racing in 2012, participating in ten rounds of the Formula BMW Talent Cup and concluding the season ranked eighth overall.
Formula Renault 2.0
In 2013, Sadeleer joined Tech 1 Racing for the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps series but was unable to compete in races due to age restrictions, only taking part in testing sessions. The following year, he competed in the 2014 Formula Renault 2.0 Alps championship, finishing sixteenth overall and achieving a podium finish at the Pau Grand Prix.
For the 2015 season, he stepped up to the more challenging Formula Renault Eurocup, completing seventeen races and ending up twenty-fourth in the standings.
In 2016, Sadeleer committed to a full season in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 championship, where he earned one victory at Spa-Francorchamps along with three podium finishes, ultimately placing sixth in the championship.

On 12 January 2017, team principal Zak Brown revealed that Hugo de Sadeleer would join United Autosports for the 2017 European Le Mans Series (ELMS), driving their new Ligier JSP217 in the LMP2 division. That year, he also took part in the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans, sharing the car with American Will Owen and Filipe Albuquerque.
Sadeleer continued with United Autosports during the 2018 European Le Mans Series and competed again in the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans. His ELMS teammates included Will Owen and Wayne Boyd, while Juan Pablo Montoya joined as a third driver for Le Mans.
