In 2005 he joined FC "Moskva". The debut match in the Russian Championship was held on March 12 in a duel against the Moscow "Spartak". In this match, Yury Zhevnov also reflected his first penalty.

The next season for the goalkeeper was unsuccessful. His Yuri spent as an understudy, losing the post number 1 to Sergei Kozko. And only with the championship of 2007 Yury Zhevnov becomes the main guard of the gates of the Moscow club and its captain. In the same year he is recognized as the best player of the team. He is awarded the title of Master of Sports of Russia.

The next four years of football career were in the team "Zenith". August 5, 2010 Yuri debuts in the Champions League in a match with the French "Auxerre".
