After his outstanding performance with the Uruguay national under-20 football team, Canobbio joined Peñarol in 2018, playing a total of 66 matches across domestic and international competitions, and winning the Supercopa Uruguaya and the Uruguayan Primera División of that year. In 2019, the club decided to renew his contract, but after performing inconistantly, his contract was not renewed for 2020.

In 2021, after another stint at Fénix, Canobbio returned to Peñarol, where he played a key role in the Copa Sudamericana, scoring against Corinthians Paulista and River Plate Asunción in the group stages, as well as providing several assists. In the round of 16, he scored against Club Nacional de Football at the Estadio Gran Parque Central, and was also a standout in the return leg of that match. This earned him a contract renewal for the 2022 season.

On March 2022, Canobbio signed a five-year contract with Athletico Paranaense.{{cite web|title=Agustín Canobbio firmó por cinco años con Athletico Paranaense: mirá el número con el que jugará |url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/agustin-canobbio-firmo-por-cinco-anos-con-atletico-paranaense-mira-el-numero-con-el-que-jugara-202233016040}} The deal, negotiated by his representatives, was finalized for 3,200,000 dollars, around 2 million euros.{{cite web|title=Agustín Canobbio deja Peñarol para ir al Athletico Paranaense por una importante cifra |url=https://mundofichajes.com/agustin-canobbio-penarol-athletico-paranaense/}}
