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, went into the tournament among the favourites under Didier Deschamps, who had confirmed this would be 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, the opener in the quarterfinal against Morocco, and a brace in the third place match against England.
Now playing his club football for Real Madrid, Mbappé finished the tournament at the very top of the all time World Cup scoring list.
France’s title bid ended in the semifinals, where Spain won 2-0, but Mbappé still lit up the tournament. He won the 2026 Golden Boot with 10 goals and overtook Lionel Messi at the top of the all time World Cup scoring 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 carried France into the semifinals, a third straight World Cup semifinal. There the run ended, with Spain winning 2-0 in Dallas on 14 July through a Mikel Oyarzabal penalty and a Pedro Porro strike.
The third place match in Miami Gardens on 18 July turned into the highest scoring World Cup game since 1982. England raced into a 4-0 lead through Declan Rice, Ezri Konsa and a Bukayo Saka double before France hit back. Mbappé scored twice, with Dembélé and Bradley Barcola also on target, but Saka completed his hat-trick and Jude Bellingham sealed a 6-4 win. France finished fourth in Didier Deschamps’ final match in charge.
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 now holds one of the most striking record collections in World Cup history. These are the highlights:
- All time top scorer in men’s World Cup history with 22 goals, having overtaken Lionel Messi on 21.
- 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.
- Record for goals in World Cup knockout rounds, moving clear of Brazil’s Leônidas and Ronaldo.
- Back to back Golden Boot winner, with eight goals in 2022 and 10 in 2026.
- One of only five players to score in two different World Cup finals (2018 and 2022), alongside Vavá, Pelé, Paul Breitner and Zinedine Zidane.
- Second player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final, after England’s Geoff Hurst in 1966.
- France’s all time leading goalscorer, a mark he reached by overtaking Olivier Giroud.
The All Time Goal Record: Mbappé Overtakes Messi
The defining storyline of Mbappé’s 2026 was 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, 20 in the quarterfinal against Morocco, then a brace against England in the third place match to reach 22.
Those two goals in Miami Gardens made him the outright all time leading scorer in men’s World Cup history. Lionel Messi finished on 21 after being kept off the scoresheet in the final, so Mbappé ends 2026 holding the record alone.
He also claimed the 2026 Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer with 10 goals, two clear of Messi on eight. It is his second Golden Boot in a row after 2022.
France’s 2026 World Cup Run
France could not stretch their run of finals. Champions in 2018 and runners up in 2022, they reached a third straight semifinal in 2026 before Spain ended their hopes. England then beat them 6-4 in a wild third place match, so France finished fourth. It closed Didier Deschamps’ 14 year reign, with Zinedine Zidane expected to take over.
Spain went on to win the tournament, beating Argentina 1-0 after extra time at MetLife Stadium through a Ferran Torres goal, a second world title after 2010.
For Mbappé, 2026 still delivered the Golden Boot and the all time scoring record. He did not add a third World Cup final to his collection, but at 27 he leaves the tournament as its leading scorer and the new benchmark for the game’s next generation.
That is what makes Kylian Mbappé World Cup 2026 one of the defining stories of the tournament, and this page keeps his goals, assists and records in one place now that the campaign is complete.
