He currently plays for [[Fenerbahçe S.K. (basketball)|Fenerbahçe]] of the [[Basketbol Süper Ligi|Turkish Basketball Super League]] (BSL) and the [[EuroLeague]].<ref name=fborg/>
==Professional career== ===Early years=== Biberović was born in 2001 in [[Zenica]], where he started his career in KK Ten Zenica.<ref>{{cite web|title=Zeničanin Tarik Biberović izabran na NBA draftu|url=https://www.zenicablog.com/zenicanin-tarik-biberovic-izabran-na-nba-draftu/|publisher=Zenica Blog|access-date=23 June 2023}}</ref> At the age of 15, he moved to [[Sarajevo]] to the [[OKK Spars]]. He drew attention especially with his performance in the [[Adidas Next Generation Tournament]] with the Spars team in the 2016–2017 season. Playing four games with Spars in this tournament, Biberović stayed on the court for 32.9 minutes and averaged 17.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks.<ref name=fborg/>
===Fenerbahçe=== His potential earned him attention and he wound up linking up with [[Fenerbahçe Basketball|Fenerbahçe Beko]], a club that plays in both the [[Basketbol Süper Ligi|Basketball Super League]] in Turkey and the [[EuroLeague]]. He did not appear in any domestic games for the club during the 2018-19 campaign due to license rules, but he did make his EuroLeague debut in the match against [[Panathinaikos B.C.|Panathinaikos]] on February 8, 2019, at the age of 18. Not much changed the following year, as he made a few EuroLeague appearances but did not play in any Turkish League games. Also, he played at the Turkish Youth League, a level of competition that can hardly be considered challenging for a prospect of his caliber.<ref name=nba>{{cite web|title=About Tarik Biberovic|url=https://www.nba.com/draft/2021/prospects/tarik-biberovic|publisher=NBA.com|access-date=14 July 2021}}</ref>
During the 2020–21 season, though, Biberović played a regular role in the Basketball Super League, appearing in 35 games and starting 11. He continued playing sparingly in EuroLeague games, but he did score 13 points — then his most in a EuroLeague game — against [[ALBA Berlin]] in December 2020 and, with Fenerbahçe missing several players due to COVID-19, played at least 14 minutes in the club's three EuroLeague playoff games and averaged 7.3 points and 3.7 rebounds.<ref name=nba/>
On 19 October 2023, he scored his career high in [[EuroLeague]] with 17 points (1-2 2FG, 5-8 3FG) and 4 rebounds performance win over 101–86, against [[ASVEL Basket|Asvel]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Biberovic's career-high sparked Fenerbahce's record comeback|url=https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/euroleague/news/biberovics-career-high-sparked-fenerbahces-record-comeback/|publisher=EuroLeague Basketball|access-date=19 October 2023}}</ref>
On 25 December 2023, he scored his career high in [[Basketbol Süper Ligi|Basketball Super League]] with 29 points (with 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 34 pir) and 4 rebounds performance win over 98–58, against [[Darüşşafaka Basketbol|Darüşşafaka Lassa]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Darüşşafaka Lassa 56-98 Fenerbahçe Beko|url=https://fenerbahce.org/haberler/basketbol-erkek/2023/12/darussafaka-lassa-56-98-fenerbahce-beko|publisher=Fenerbahçe|access-date=25 December 2023}}</ref>
On October 15, 2024, he was suspended for Round 3 of the 2024-2025 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season.
