Kylian Mbappé at World Cup 2026: What You Need to Know
At 27, Kylian Mbappé arrived 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, champions in 2018 and runners up in 2022, are among the favourites under Didier Deschamps, who has confirmed this is his final World Cup in charge of Les Bleus.
Mbappé opened the campaign by scoring twice in France’s 3-1 win over Senegal at MetLife Stadium, a brace that also carried him past Olivier Giroud as France’s record scorer. He followed it with another double against Iraq, two more against Sweden, the winner from the penalty spot against Paraguay, and the opener in the quarterfinal against Morocco.
Now playing his club football for Real Madrid, Mbappé is in his prime and already sits second on the all time World Cup scoring list.
The one number everyone is watching is how far he can climb before France’s run ends. He goes into the semifinals chasing Lionel Messi at the very top of the goal charts.
France’s Group I Results and Knockout Run
France were drawn in Group I with Senegal, Iraq and Norway, and they won all three games to finish top. Here is how Mbappé’s group stage played out:
- France 3-1 Senegal (MetLife Stadium, New York New Jersey) on 16 June. Mbappé scored twice and passed Giroud as France’s all time top scorer.
- France 3-0 Iraq (Philadelphia) on 22 June. Mbappé struck twice again to reach 16 career World Cup goals and draw level with Miroslav Klose.
- Norway 1-4 France (Foxborough, near Boston) on 26 June. Ousmane Dembélé hit a first half hat-trick as France sealed top spot.
France then carried that form into the knockout rounds, beating Sweden 3-0 in the round of 32 and edging Paraguay 1-0 in the round of 16, with Mbappé scoring the winner from the penalty spot.
That win, against a Paraguay side that had stunned Germany on penalties, sent France into the quarterfinal against Morocco in Boston on 9 July. Mbappé missed an early penalty but broke the deadlock in the 60th minute, and Ousmane Dembélé added a second in the 2-0 win that sent France into the semifinals, a third straight World Cup semifinal, where they await the winner of Spain and Belgium.

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 stood 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.

Kylian Mbappé’s World Cup Records
Mbappé already holds or is closing in on a striking list of World Cup records. These are the ones that matter in 2026:
- Most goals in World Cup final matches in history, with four. He scored one in the 2018 final against Croatia and a hat-trick in the 2022 final against Argentina.
- Second on the all time World Cup scoring list with 20 goals, behind only Lionel Messi.
- Record for goals in World Cup knockout rounds, moving clear of Brazil’s Leônidas and Ronaldo with his brace against Sweden.
- One of only five players to score in two different World Cup finals (2018 and 2022), alongside Vavá, Pelé, Paul Breitner and Zinedine Zidane. A goal in a third final would leave him alone in history.
- Second player 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.
The All Time Goal Record: Mbappé Passes Klose, Chases Messi
The defining storyline of Mbappé’s 2026 has been the all time World Cup goal record. He entered the tournament on 12 goals, drew level with Miroslav Klose’s long standing mark of 16 with his brace against Iraq, passed both Klose and Brazil’s Ronaldo when he took his career tally to 18 against Sweden, made it 19 from the penalty spot against Paraguay, then 20 in the quarterfinal against Morocco.
That run lifted him above every men’s World Cup scorer in history except one. Lionel Messi has pushed the record to 21 goals, adding to his tally against Egypt, so Mbappé sits second and needs one more to draw level. With France into the semifinals and up to two matches potentially ahead, the record stays within range.
In the Golden Boot race for the 2026 tournament, Mbappé has drawn level with Messi on eight goals. For his current total and exactly how close he is, check the live stats table near the top of this page.
France’s Bid for History
France are chasing more than personal milestones. Having won in 2018 and lost the 2022 final, they could become only the third nation ever to reach three straight World Cup finals, after Germany and Brazil. A title in 2026 would be their third overall.
For Mbappé, a second winner’s medal would seal his place among the greats, and a goal in the final would make him the first player ever to score in three separate World Cup finals.
That is what makes Kylian Mbappé World Cup 2026 the story to follow, and this page will keep tracking his goals, assists and records as France push deeper into the knockout rounds.
