América 2015: Youth academy and Loan to Oaxaca Born in
Aguascalientes, Córdova joined the
youth academy of
Club América in 2015. A year later, he was loaned out to
Ascenso MX side
Alebrijes de Oaxaca, where he made just two appearances between the league and Copa MX, playing a total of 21 minutes; in his sole Ascenso MX appearance, Córdova came on as an 85th-minute substitute against
Murciélagos in Oaxaca's 4–1 victory. He played 16 minutes in Oaxaca's scoreless draw against the same opposition in the Copa MX. At the end of his loan spell, Córdova returned to the youth team of Club America.
2018–19: Loan to Necaxa In 2018, Córdova joined
Necaxa on loan. His first game for the new club was in the
Supercopa MX, beating
Monterrey and scoring the only goal of the match. He made his
Liga MX debut on 14 August against
Lobos BUAP. Córdova returned to América prior to the start of the
2019 Clausura, and scored twice in seven league matches during the tournament. In the first-leg of the Apertura
finals against
Monterrey, following review by the
video assistant referee, Córdova was sent-off in the 53rd minute due to a late challenge on
Leonel Vangioni. He missed the second-leg as América finished runners-up.
2021–22: Number change Prior to the start of the
2021–22 season, Córdova was given the number 10 jersey, the first
canterano (home-grown) player to wear it since
Cuauhtémoc Blanco.
UANL In early December 2021, Club América and
C.D. Guadalajara agreed to a player exchange involving Sebastián Córdova and
Uriel Antuna. However, after the proposed trade did not materialize,
UANL reached an agreement to sign Córdova on December 16. With Tigres, he won his first league championship, the
Clausura 2023. Córdova left the club after his contract expired in December 2025.
Toluca In January 2026, Córdova joined
Deportivo Toluca. ==International career==
