Kylian Mbappé at World Cup 2026: What You Need to Know

At 27 years old, Kylian Mbappé arrives at the 2026 World Cup as France’s captain, their all-time leading goalscorer, and the player most likely to rewrite the tournament record books. France, who won the trophy in 2018 and finished runners-up in 2022, are among the favourites under Didier Deschamps, who has confirmed this will be his last World Cup in charge of Les Bleus.

Mbappé opened his 2026 campaign in style, scoring twice in France’s 3-1 win over Senegal at MetLife Stadium. The brace also pushed him past Olivier Giroud as France’s record scorer, capping a remarkable rise for a player who first lit up the World Cup as a teenager.

Unlike the veterans chasing one last moment, Mbappé is in his prime. He already sits among the most prolific World Cup scorers in history, and the big question hanging over his tournament is whether he can close in on the all-time goal record. A standout subplot comes on 26 June, when France face Erling Haaland’s Norway in the group finale, one of the most anticipated matchups of the group stage.

France’s Group I Fixtures

France were drawn into Group I alongside Senegal, Iraq and Norway. Here is the group stage schedule that frames Mbappé’s tournament:

• France vs Senegal (East Rutherford, New Jersey) on 16 June, won 3-1
• France vs Iraq (Philadelphia) on 22 June
• Norway vs France (Foxborough, near Boston) on 26 June

If France top the group, they advance to the round of 32. After the opening round of matches, France and Norway were level on points at the top of Group I, with Norway ahead on goal difference, which sets up the meeting in Foxborough as a likely shootout for first place.

Kylian Mbappé’s World Cup Career Record (2018 and 2022)

Across just two tournaments, Mbappé built one of the most explosive World Cup records the game has seen. Here is how his career stacked up going into 2026:

• World Cups played before 2026: Two (2018, 2022)
• Matches: 14
• Goals: 12
• 2018: Champion. Scored four goals, including one in the final, at age 19
• 2022: Runner-up. Scored eight goals and won the Golden Boot, including a hat-trick in the final
• Honours: World Cup winner (2018), Golden Boot (2022), Best Young Player (2018)

In Russia 2018 he became the youngest French player to score at a World Cup and only the second teenager after Pelé to score in a World Cup final. Four years later in Qatar he was even more lethal, dragging France to the final almost single-handedly before scoring three times in the title match.

Every Kylian Mbappé World Cup Goal

Here is the full breakdown of all twelve goals Mbappé has scored at the World Cup finals so far.

Russia 2018 (4 goals):

1. vs Peru, group stage
2. vs Argentina, round of 16
3. vs Argentina, round of 16
4. vs Croatia, in the final

Qatar 2022 (8 goals):

5. vs Australia, group stage
6. vs Denmark, group stage
7. vs Denmark, group stage
8. vs Poland, round of 16
9. vs Poland, round of 16
10. vs Argentina, in the final
11. vs Argentina, in the final
12. vs Argentina, in the final

That 2022 final hat-trick against Argentina is the centrepiece of his World Cup story. He scored twice in the space of two minutes to force extra time, then converted again to make it 3-3, only for France to lose the shootout.

Kylian Mbappé’s World Cup Records

Mbappé already holds or is chasing a striking list of World Cup records. These are the ones that matter in 2026:

• Most goals in World Cup finals in history, with four. He scored one in the 2018 final against Croatia and a hat-trick in the 2022 final against Argentina.
• One of only five players ever to score in two different World Cup finals (2018 and 2022), alongside Vava, Pele, Paul Breitner and Zinedine Zidane. If he scores in a third final, he would stand alone in history.
• Second player ever to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final, after England’s Geoff Hurst in 1966.
• 2022 Golden Boot winner with eight goals, including the hat-trick in the final.
• France’s all-time leading goalscorer, a mark he reached by overtaking Olivier Giroud.
• Twelve World Cup goals across two tournaments before turning 28, leaving him the most realistic active challenger to the all-time record.

The Klose Record Chase

The biggest storyline of Mbappé’s 2026 is his pursuit of the all-time World Cup goal record. That mark belongs to Germany’s Miroslav Klose, who scored 16 goals across four tournaments. Brazil’s Ronaldo sits second on 15.

Mbappé entered the 2026 World Cup on 12 goals from just two tournaments. No other active player is anywhere near that pace at his age. With France carrying genuine title hopes and a potential seven-match run ahead of them in the expanded 48-team format, the record is well within reach.

France’s Bid for History

France are chasing more than individual records. Having won in 2018 and lost the 2022 final, they could become only the third nation ever to reach three consecutive World Cup finals, after Germany and Brazil. A title in 2026 would be their third overall.

For Mbappé personally, a second World Cup winner’s medal would cement his place among the greats, and a goal in the final would make him the first player in history to score in three separate World Cup finals.
