Most of Pedersen's club football has been played outside Norway. During 2002 and 2003 she played for the English professional club Fulham, from where she moved to Norway to join the Toppserien club Fløya based in Tromsø. After two seasons there she moved to spend the 2006 season playing in Stockholm, Sweden for the Damallsvenskan club Djurgården-Älfvsjö. For the 2007 season she moved back to Norway to play for Asker SK in Oslo, and she will stay there during 2008.

Katrine Pedersen was in her national team in the 2005 UEFA Women's Championship in England, and captained it in the FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 in China. She also played in earlier World Cup competitions in 1995 (as an 18-year-old) and 1999. Her total of 134 international appearances (end-2007) is five more than her countryman, Peter Schmeichel.

Pedersen works as a teacher and football trainer at a high-school in Oslo.
