Walker Scobell was born on January 5, 2009, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, to Heather Scobell and Pete Scobell in a military family. He has an older sister and a younger brother. Walker lived in Colorado until the family moved to Fairview, Pennsylvania, where his parents grew up. In elementary school, he attended drama class. He went to Fairview Middle School and acted in the school's production of Mary Poppins. Shortly after, he attended a John D'Aquino acting workshop, hired a manager, and signed up for an agency. When not traveling or on set, he goes to Fairview High School.

Scobell auditioned in August 2020 to play the younger version of Ryan Reynolds' character in the Netflix film The Adam Project. His impersonation of Reynolds earned him his first acting role despite the hundreds of children who auditioned for the part. Walker told interviewers that watching Reynolds's Deadpool film many times growing up contributed to his ability to mimic Reynolds. Filming began in Vancouver in November 2020 and was released in March 2022. Walker received praise for his performance. As told by one reviewer, "Scobell and Reynolds' interaction on screen is perfect and amazing to witness as Scobell portrays a perfect younger version of Reynolds and Reynolds portrays a perfect older version of Scobell."

Walker starred alongside Owen Wilson in Secret Headquarters. The film was released on Paramount+ in August 2022.

A few months before the release of The Adam Project, Scobell auditioned for the role of Percy Jackson in the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Series author Rick Riordan said that Scobell "blew us away with his audition tapes for the role of Percy." The casting was publicly announced a few months later, in April 2022.

In May 2023, Scobell joined the cast of Blood Knot, a family drama directed by Roberto Sneider.

A massive fan of superhero movies, his favorites include Deadpool and Avengers: Endgame. When he isn't performing, Walker takes great joy in extreme sports such as snowboarding, skateboarding, and parkour (freerunning)!
