Wang Peng started his professional football career in 2012 when he joined Beijing Sangao for the 2012 China League Two campaign.[1] He moved to China League One club Shijiazhuang Ever Bright in January 2014.[2] He would be part of the squad that would gain promotion to the top tier at the end of the 2014 China League One campaign.[3] On 5 April 2015, he made his Super League debut in a 2–1 defeat against Jiangsu Sainty, coming on as a substitute for Hu Wei in the 82nd minute.[4] On 30 October 2016, Wang was suspended for half-year by China Anti-Doping Agency due to a positive sample test for hydrochlorothiazide.[5] This would hurt the club as they were relegated at the end of the 2016 Chinese Super League campaign.[6] On 10 March 2018, Wang scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 home win over Meizhou Hakka.[7] He scored four goals in 28 appearances in the 2018 season.

On 10 February 2019, Wang transferred to Super League newcomer Shenzhen.[8] He would go on to make his debut for Shenzhen in a league game against Hebei China Fortune F.C. on the 2 March 2019 in a 3-1 victory.[9] Despite going on to make 24 league appearances, the club only survived relegation because Tianjin Tianhai F.C. dissolved.[10] On 20 January 2020, Wang would be loaned back to Shijiazhuang Ever Bright for the 2020 Chinese Super League campaign.[11] He would make his return debut in a league game on 26 July 2020 against Hebei China Fortune F.C. where he also scored in a 2-2 draw.[12]

After returning to Cangzhou Mighty Lions(formerly named Shijiazhuang Everbright) on loan for the 2022 season, Wang joined Cangzhou permanently on a free transfer in March 2023.
