Club career
Peng Xinli was considered a technically gifted player as a youngster and was sent out to Ligue 2 side FC Metz by the Chengdu Football Association to study and practice abroad for two months. When he returned to China, he would join Chengdu Blades and go on to make his senior debut in a league game against Shandong Luneng on 28 June 2008 in a 2-1 defeat. Under then manager Li Bing, he was viewed as a promising youngster and would often come on as a substitute throughout the 2008 league season until he was given his first start against Shenzhen Xiangxue on 25 October 2008 in a 3-1 victory. Peng transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande on 26 December 2011 along with Zhao Xuri, Li Jianbin, and Rong Hao. He scored his first and second goal for the club in the 2013 Chinese FA Cup in which Guangzhou beat China League Two side Dali Ruilong 7-1 on 10 July 2013 a day before he was loaned back to Chengdu.
On 11 February 2015, Peng was loaned to fellow Chinese Super League side Chongqing Lifan until 31 December 2015. On 19 February 2016, Chongqing extended his loan deal for another season. He made a permanent transfer to Chongqing Lifan in February 2017.
