Calderón started his playing career with Guadalajara in 1962, with whom he won three Mexican league championships in 1963–64, 1964–65 and 1969–70. He was called up to the Mexico national team for the first time in 1965.

Calderón played in two FIFA World Cups for the Mexico national team, and in the 1970 World Cup he set a World Cup record of 310 minutes without conceding a goal.

In 1974 Calderón joined the U de G team that finished as runners up in the Liga MX in 1975–76 and 1976–77; and shared the CONCACAF Champions' Cup in 1978.
