Club career
Liu Weiguo started his football career when he joined Shandong Luneng's youth academy at the age of 14 and was promoted to the club's first team in 2011.

On 5 August 2012, then manager Aleksandar Stanojević decided to replace Yu Ziqian, who had made many mistakes in several games throughout the 2012 season, with Liu who made his league debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against Shanghai Shenxin. Liu remained as the club's first-choice goalkeeper for the rest of the season after his outstanding debut. He later became the second-choice goalkeeper after Zhang Chong transferred to the club from Dalian Shide in 2013.

On 10 July 2015, Liu transferred to Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande. He was loaned to Liaoning Whowin for one season on 26 February 2016.

In February 2019, Liu was loaned to China League One side Inner Mongolia Zhongyou for the 2019 season.

On 18 September 2020, Liu finally made his debut for Evergrande after 5 years since joining the club, keeping a clean sheet in a 2-0 win against Henan Jianye in the first round of the 2020 Chinese FA Cup.

On 29 April 2022, Liu joined Chinese Super League club Changchun Yatai. He made his debut for Yatai on 4 June 2022 in a 4-1 win against Guangzhou City.
