In 2011, Macías joined C.D. Guadalajara's youth academy. Six years later, now aged 17, coach Matías Almeyda called up Macías to form part of the first team. [2] On 16 July, he made his official debut in the 2017 Campeón de Campeones match against Tigres UANL. [3] Six days later, he made his league debut against Toluca in a scoreless draw. [4] On 8 August, Macías scored his first professional goal for Guadalajara in a Copa MX match against Juárez. [5] On 28 October, he scored his first brace against Tijuana in a 3–1 home win. [6]

On 11 January 2020, he played his first match with Guadalajara since his loan stint against Juárez, and scored in the team's 2–0 win. [7]

Prior to the start of the 2020–21 season, Guadalajara participated in the friendly preseason tournament 2020 Copa por México. In the semi-final match against rivals Club América, Macías scored within 19 seconds of the start, marking it as the fastest goal in a Súper Clásico as Guadalajara won 4–3. [8] He finished as the top scorer of the tournament with four goals but did not participate in the final against Cruz Azul due to injury, [9] where the Guadalajara finished as runner-ups.

Loan to León

In December 2018, Macías joined León on a loan with an option to buy. [10] He scored his first brace against Querétaro in a 4–0 away victory. [11] He scored eight goals during the regular phase of the 2019 Clausura, making him the top-scoring Mexican player in the tournament at only 19 years old. [12] Macías scored another two goals in the championship stage to take his total goal tally to ten as León progressed to the finals. He missed the finals against Tigres UANL due to receiving a call-up to play with the Mexico national under-20 team at the World Cup in Poland. [13] He was listed on the Best XI of the 2019 Clausura. [14] He finished the 2019 Apertura with eight goals under his name. Despite León willingness to activate his release clause, Macías chose to return to Guadalajara at the end of his loan. [15]

Loan to Getafe

On 5 July 2021, Macías joined La Liga club Getafe on a season-long loan. [16] He featured in eight matches overall for the side before having his loan terminated early on 31 January 2022. [17]
