Adrien Rabiot was born in Saint-Maurice, France. He played for several youth football teams. These included Créteil-Lusitanos and Manchester City. On July 2, 2012, he signed his first professional contract with Paris Saint-Germain. This was a three-year deal.

He joined PSG's senior team for the 2012–13 season. His first Ligue 1 game was on August 26, 2012. It was a 0–0 draw against Bordeaux. Rabiot also made his UEFA Champions League debut in November 2012. In January 2013, he was loaned to Toulouse. He scored his first professional goal for Toulouse on March 9, 2013.

After returning to PSG, Rabiot helped the team win two league titles. These were in the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons. He played 46 matches and scored six goals during this time. In the 2015–16 season, he was sent off early in the first game. This happened after he received two yellow cards.

Rabiot scored his first goal in a European competition in November 2015. It was in a 5–0 Champions League win against Malmö. He scored again in March 2016 against Chelsea. This helped PSG reach the quarter-finals. A few days later, he scored in a 9–0 win against Troyes. This victory secured the league title for PSG.

In April 2016, Rabiot was sent off in the Coupe de la Ligue final. PSG still won the match 2–1 against Lille. Over the next two seasons, he scored four goals in 60 games. PSG won the national championship again in the 2017–18 season. In late 2018, Rabiot was temporarily removed from the starting team. This was because he arrived late to a team meeting. In early 2019, he was asked to train with the reserve team. This happened after he chose not to renew his contract.

In March 2019, Rabiot was suspended by PSG. This was for breaking team rules after a Champions League loss.
