He hails from Oksval at Nesodden and played youth football for Nesodden IF, but transferred to Lyn when enrolling in the Norwegian College of Elite Sport. When the elite branch ("FK Lyn") went bankrupt in 2010, he joined the club's amateur branch ("Lyn Fotball"). In 2011 Lyn Fotball played in the 4. Division, the fifth tier of Norwegian football, and Haugstad played four senior games there. He mostly played for the junior team, and in 2012 he joined Stabæk to  have the same role there. He did however make his first-team debut for Stabæk against Elverum in the 1. divisjon in 2013, his last year as a junior. In 2014, he was a part of Stabæk's senior squad. His debut in the Norwegian Premier League was unprecedented. Stabæk's two goalkeepers were away for the FIFA World Cup (Sayouba Mandé) and suspended for a send-off (Borger Thomas). Stabæk chose to field their former goalkeeper, now retired Espen Isaksen.

Thus, Eirik Haugstad started as Stabæk's goalkeeper and was substituted for Isaksen after only three seconds of play. Haugstad later made his first-tier debut on his own merits, as a substitute against Vålerenga in July 2014. In the summer of 2016 Haugstad OBOS-ligaen side FK Jerv.

Ahead of the 2018 season Haugstad went down two tiers to sign for  fourth-tier Lyn Fotball.
