Early life
Meng grew up in Shenyang, Liaoning. She was recognized for her athletic ability from a young age, with her parents enrolling her in swim lessons at age four. However, after a year of swimming, Meng began suffering from earache and stopped swimming following her doctor's advice. Instead, she began playing basketball at age five. Meng had two dreams as a child: to play for the Chinese women's national basketball team, and to play in the WNBA.

WNBA
On March 13, 2023, Meng signed a training camp contract with the Washington Mystics of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). On May 1, 2023, Meng confirmed via social media that she had earned a spot on the Mystics' regular season roster, making her the third Chinese national to play in the WNBA, after Han Xu and Yang Liwei.

On April 22, 2024, Li Meng tallied 23 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals in Game 5 of the 2024 WCBA finals to defeat Inner Mongolia and win the WCBA finals. She was named Finals MVP.
